With the rapid development of technology, the tools and apparatus of measuring the neuroscience had become more precise and accurate. So far, the neuroscience was the field that the world was eager to develop. NTNU built the eye tracking machine, electroencephalography machine, clinical psychophysiology machine, and behavioral lab in the “educational neuroscience lab”. Through the observation with different machine, the research team could analyze the message directly from the complicated cerebrum, for example, the language, reading, mathematic, humor, and emotion. Recently, the lab was doing the research on the mathematics talent students.
The spirit of the “educational neuroscience lab” was to serve the public and share the resources with the society. Welcome students and teachers to apply to use the “educational neuroscience lab”.
