A painless, noninvasive 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 this might be […]

In recent years, with the public availability of AI tools, more people have become aware of how closely the inner workings of artificial intelligence can resemble those of a human brain.This post was originally published […]

The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mildly electrically stimulating these networks can boost learning, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by […]

Meet Bille, the name given to the world’s first monostable tetrahedron—a four-faced object that will always land on the same side, no matter its starting position. This feat of geometry and engineering solves a nearly […]

How reliable is artificial intelligence, really? An interdisciplinary research team at TU Wien has developed a method that allows for the exact calculation of how reliably a neural network operates within a defined input domain. […]

According to the first-ever survey fielded by RAND’s new American Youth Panel (AYP), 49% of students in middle and high school grades reported losing interest in math about half or more of the time, and […]

During his Ph.D. research, mathematician Tyron Lardy worked on a new approach to hypothesis testing. Instead of the traditional p-value, he uses so-called e-values. These turn out to be more flexible—especially when you want to […]

Using AI to analyze brain scans of students solving math problems, researchers offer the first-ever glimpse into the neural roots of math learning disabilities.This post was originally published on this site

It’s an old joke that there are three kinds of people in the world: those who are good at math and those who aren’t.This post was originally published on this site
