Description
Serena Dattola and co-authors map brain activity during mental arithmetic in a 2023 paper. Most prior work used fMRI scans, but this team used EEG signals instead. They rebuilt source activity with a method called eLORETA.
Thirty-five healthy young adults performed a serial subtraction task. The team split them into good and bad counters by score and compared brain activity. A clear difference appeared only in the beta band. The left limbic lobe was more active in the better counters. That region links to memory, fact retrieval, and emotion. The authors offer the finding as a start for deeper study.
