An article by Terry Sejnowski and his team at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies recently appeared in the April 2, 2010 issue of the journal Science that was supported in part by the TDLC.
Terry Sejnowski and his team at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies were recently cited in the April 2, 2010 issue of the journal Science. Their research findings "hold important clues to how the brain encodes and processes information, which can be applied to a wide variety of applications, from understanding psychiatric disorders to the development of novel pharmaceuticals and new ways of handling information by computers or communication networks."

A computer vision system automatically recognizes facial expressions of students during problem solving.
Collaborators: Littlewort, Phan, Reilly, and Bartlett, UC San Diego and SDSU
There has been growing recognition of the importance of adaptive tutoring systems that respond to the student’s emotional and cognitive state. However little is known about children’s facial expressions during a problem solving task. What are the actual signals of boredom, interest, confusion, or uncertainty in real, spontaneous behavior of students?

What are some simple concepts teachers can use to increase their effectiveness and positively affect their children’s learning, as well as their brain health?
It seems almost a tautology to say, but it’s true and there’s research to prove it: learning is truly all about the brain. While neuroscience and education have long been accepted fields of academic study, the subject of “brain-based education” and the connections between brain function and educational practice has only been on the scene for about twenty years! ...
