A recent international study involving 72 Oxford University students has demonstrated that non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain can enhance mathematical performance, particularly in individuals with weaker neural connectivity. This technique, which applies gentle electric currents to the prefrontal cortex, is linked to improved executive function and memory through mechanisms involving neurochemistry, brain plasticity, and enhanced communication between brain regions. The research suggests that this approach could help address learning difficulties and reduce educational disparities by strengthening specific neural connections related to math skills. The findings have been reported across multiple sources and languages, highlighting the potential of brain stimulation to improve cognitive abilities in mathematics.
