Overclocking the Brain to Boost Math Skills?
For those that may be deficient in the mathematical aptitude department may benefit from a little voltage to boost their skills. Research is underway at Oxford where volunteers are hooked up to the apparatus and a tiny amount of electricity is applied to the parietal lobe of the brain- overclocking anyone? They then work math problems to gauge its effectiveness. If they come up with a device to help spelling, I know a few people that could benefit.
A shocking idea or a spark of genius? Scientists in Oxford say applying an electrical current across the brain may be able to enhance your mathematical abilities. The amount of electricity is tiny – one thousandth of an amp. The electrodes are placed at the back of the head over the parietal lobe.
