Brain-Focused Teaching
The development of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in the 1980s revolutionized medicine,
particularly neuroscience, by giving doctors a unique window into the workings of the brain. Now, fMRI
technology, and our advanced knowledge of how the brain operates, is revolutionizing education.
"Neuroimaging can transform a real brain hidden within a skull into a virtual brain observable on a
computer. This transformation has finally allowed scientists to observe how various brain processing
systems collaborate when they develop a decision and then activate the appropriate behavior," writes
education professor Robert Sylwester.
