Better learning through educational neuroscience?
When neuroscience meets education
Applying neuroscientific research to the classroom is a new and exciting endeavor. Thanks to ever-advancing technologies that allow us to image the thinking brain, we know more than ever before about how students learn. But it’s not easy to translate these findings to the classroom.
