New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

A study suggests that carefully controlled electrical stimulation of the brain may improve math skills, most significantly in people with weaker connections in a specific part of the brain. When you ...

In what definitely wasn’t on our list of expectations for this year, researchers used a method called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) may help the brain learn math faster. This method, ...

A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how ...

A new study shows subtle brain stimulation can boost college students’ math abilities. Researchers at the University of Surrey call it a safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation method that ...

Far too many students enter math class expecting to fail. For them, math isn’t just a subject–it’s a source of anxiety that chips away at their confidence and makes them question their abilities. A ...

WASHINGTON -- Sometime in elementary school, you quit counting your fingers and just know the answer. Now scientists have put youngsters into brain scanners to find out why, and watched how the brain ...
