Electrical Brain Stimulation May Help Those Struggling with Math Learning
SadaNews - A team of scientists discovered yesterday, Tuesday, that electrical stimulation of the brain assists those having difficulty understanding mathematics, and their findings highlighted the connections between brain activity and learning processes.
While disparities in math proficiency are well-known and contribute to widening the gap in social inequalities, a study published in the U.S. journal "PLOS Biology" sheds light on a potential method to address this issue.
Roa Cohen Kadush, a specialist in neuroscience and cognitive sciences at the University of Surrey in the UK and the lead author of the study, told Agence France-Presse, "People have different brains, and their brains control a significant part of their lives."
He added, "We think about our environment all the time. We often wonder if we are attending the right school or if we have the right teacher. But it also relates to our bodies. Some people struggle, and if we can help their brains reach their full potential, we will open many doors that would have been closed to them otherwise."
Previous studies have shown involvement of certain neural activities and areas in the brain, including the lateral dorsal prefrontal cortex and the posterior parietal cortex, in knowledge acquisition and learning processes.
Thus, the researchers decided to study the activity of these two areas, particularly in problem-solving and memory, among students of various mathematical levels.
After discovering the possibility of predicting performance in mental arithmetic based on this, they sought to enhance it using a promising technology called "transcranial random noise stimulation." In other words, electrodes are placed around the head that send painless electrical signals.
Professor Cohen Kadush explained that their experiment, which included over 70 students, showed an improvement in performance ranging from 25% to 29% among the weakest students.
He hopes to confirm these very encouraging results through future trials on other groups and to extend it to other educational fields, such as foreign language learning.
The ultimate goal is to provide neurostimulation devices for individuals who suffer from learning difficulties.
