A recent study suggests that mild, non-invasive brain stimulation may help math learning in university students. The technique, transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), targeted different brain regions to test effects on calculation and drill-based recall. Results showed that stimulating the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) improved calculation tasks, while stimulation of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) did not enhance drill-based remembering. The research involved 72 university students and indicates potential support for learners who struggle with mathematics, but experts caution that more evidence is needed before classroom use.
