Educational research: Big plans for little brains

[摘要] US National Science Foundation has decided to cross the divide between neuroscience and education. It is more than US$90 million to four large, multidisciplinary teams incorporating cognitive neuroscientists, psychologists, computer scientists and educationalists. They aim to devise practical teaching methods that will complement the brain's natural development, in part by integrating advances in cognitive neuroscience with cutting-edge information technology.
