Brain
Sending an electric current through the brain can boost ones ability to do sums for up to six months, scientists have discovered. British scientists have found that passing a low current through a specific brain region could double ones ability to do mathematics. Applying electrical stimulation to the scalp and the underlying motor regions of the brain could make ones more skilled at delicate tasks according to the Oxford researchers. The procedure is known as transcranial direct current stimulation.
Researchers at Britain‘s Oxford University studied 15 volunteers and demonstrated for the first time that electrical stimulation of the brain improved their performance in a series of mathematics assessments, and continued to do so half a year later
