An MRI Study on Effects of Math Education on Brain Development Using Multi-Instance Contrastive Learning

This paper explores whether mathematical education has effects on brain development from the perspective of brain MRIs. While biochemical changes in the left middle front gyrus region of the brain have been investigated, we proposed to classify students by using MRIs from the intraparietal sulcus (I...
