Sandia National Labs today released an update on its neuromorphic computing research. Inspired by the architecture of the ...

A graphic artist is testing everyone’s knowledge of the mathematical order of operations with a string of numbers and missing arithmetic symbols. Gergely Dudás, of Budapest, Hungary, shared the new ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Quick: what’s 4 + 5? Nine right? Slightly less quick: what’s five plus four? Still nine, right? Okay, let’s wait a few seconds. Bear with me. Feel free to have a quick stretch. You’ve just performed a ...

The best brain breaks aren’t random or mere time-fillers—they’re purposeful pauses that help students regulate, reconnect, ...

A graphic artist is testing everyone’s knowledge of algebra and attention to detail with a pictograph math problem that assigns numbers to different plants. Gergely Dudás, of Budapest, Hungary, shared ...

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 ...

Editor’s Note: This Q&A is one of a series of articles exploring the research that University of Delaware students have been pursuing. Follow our “Frontiers of Discovery” series as UDaily highlights ...

In humans and several other mammals, brain cells are distributed according to a fundamental mathematical pattern, which could help researchers make better models of the brain in the future. When you ...

The brain has neurons that fire specifically during certain mathematical operations. The findings indicate that some of the neurons detected are active exclusively during additions, while others are ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

Benjamin Adric Dunn, a data scientist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, shows me a picture of unevenly spaced dots arranged vaguely like the rocks at Stonehenge. The overall ...
