In ongoing research with children and adults, an Oxford University researcher finds that stimulating the brain with low-dose electrical currents could help improve learning. Freelancer Michael Franco ...

Are you terrible at math? British scientists can fix that. While it doesn't involve hours of math homework, it does involve some gentle electricity to the brain. The idea is to stimulate the nerves ...

New neuroscience research is not only adding to our understanding of math and number processing in the brain, it's also suggesting a way to improve learning in the math-deficient. A small new study ...

If you’re one of the many people, yours truly included, who always found math class a bit on the difficult side then maybe all you needed was a jolt of electricity. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has ...

An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...

LOS ANGELES — Applying a mild electrical current to a particular part of the brain could improve mathematical abilities in people who suffer impaired skills or in patients who have suffered strokes or ...

For people who aren’t so good at math, a mild form of brain stimulation may improve your proficiency. The relatively new form of electrical stimulation is apparently gentler than previously tested ...

Stimulating the brain with a nonpainful electrical current can jump-start peoples' math skills, scientists say. The finding could lead to new, long-lasting treatments for people with moderate to ...

Stimulating the brain with a very low electric current can enhance a person's math ability for up to six months, British neuroscientists said on Thursday. Researchers at Britain's Oxford University ...
