Stanislas Dehaene, Professor and Chair of Experimental Cognitive Psychology at the Collège de France and Director of the INSERM-CEA Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit, discusses how regions of the brain, especially the visual cortex, change as children acquire reading and math skills. Can these findings aid in the better development of educational tools and practices? Educating the Brain: How the Acquisition of Reading and Mathematics Affects Human Brain Circuits was held on December 4, 2017, as part of the Seminars in Society and Neuroscience series organized by the Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience program at Columbia University.
