Dyscalculia: News from the web:

The Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford is leading the EU-funded Learning & Achievement project, a long-term study which is first looking at healthy subjects and using MRI scans as part of its efforts to find out how our brains process numbers and how that mathematical ability fits in with other cognitive abilities.

In parallel with that research project, whose results will not be clear for some time, the Cohen Kadosh lab is taking a more practical, short-term approach, working with schools and parents to carry out cognitive training with children who have dyscalculia – helping them find ways to work around their condition.

The researchers are recruiting for their study – for details go to: http://sites.google.com/site/brain4maths/welcome
