Tech Check - Want to Up Those Math SAT Scores? Try Electricity

How many of us need help with math? You either get it or you don't. There is no half and half.

Researchers at Oxford University gave participants a one milliamp electrical stimulus across the parietal lobe for 20 minuts each day. It feels nothing more than a tingle, but participants found their performance level had significantly improved in a battery of tests. After 6 months, the brain boost still held.

That's pretty amazing if you ask me. I don't mind having my parietal lobe zapped for 20 minutes a day if it'll make me smarter. Hope it comes to a Best Buy nearby...
