MOLINA, Jahaziel et al. Cognitive training on the solving of mathematical problems: an EEG study in young men. Act.Psi [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.130, pp.131-147. ISSN 2215-3535.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/ap.v35i130.45526.

Objective. This study characterized the electroencephalographic correlation (rEEG) between prefrontal and parietalcortices in young men while solving logical-mathematical problems after 18 sessions of cognitive training. Method. Two training groups were formed: one trained with gradually increased complexity (CT), the other with no increase in complexity (ST). Results. CT had a greater number of correct responses in the post-training evaluation than ST and showed a higher correlation between the left frontopolar-parietal cortices in almost all EEG bands, and between the dorsolateral-parietal cortices in the alpha1 band while solving math problems post-training. Results suggest that major functional synchronization between the left prefrontal and parietal cortices plays an important role in improving mathematical problem-solving after cognitive training.
