Abstract

Neuroimaging studies show that expertise in math shapes brain functions. To understand the brain processes behind complex math tasks and manipulation of large abstract concepts, we need to study the brain with naturalistic stimuli. Such stimuli are, for example, long math demonstrations that evoke simultaneous and overlapping cognitive and metacognitive processes. In our EEG study, we compared math experts and novices while they actively processed long math demonstrations in sitting and standing. Experts had an enhanced delta (0.5-4 Hz) phase synchrony over the centro-parieto-occipital electrodes compared to novices. Internal concentration and engagement may play a role in such enhanced delta synchrony.
