Do your finances cause you pain?

• May 6, 2024

Did your teachers tell you that you must learn to solve math problems because they are part of everyday life? Well, that is one of the reasons why we develop a certain aversion, although for others it can go beyond just their finances and make them feel pain .

According to a study published in the Plos One magazine, some people suffer such anxiety when they must solve mathematical operations that suffer a response in the brain similar to when they experience physical pain .

According to the study of researchers of the University of Chicago When a person undergoes some type of mathematical test, a brain response similar to when you hurt yourself.

"For someone who is afraid of mathematics, the expectation of facing them generates a reaction cerebral similar to when you burn your hand with a hot stove, "he explains. Sian L. Beilock , author of the investigation.

The researchers scanned the brains of the volunteers while solving some equations and discovered that an alert is lit in the areas corresponding to the threat of danger to the body and the pain physical.

They also verified that the more anguish felt, there was the isolation of a fold of tissue located inside the brain , about the height of the ear.

Although these people were not anxious in general, the high indexes of their anguish were focused specifically on what is related to mathematics, which really can occur in any person subjected to such pressures.

It should be remembered that our brain is perfectly capable of solving equations (complex or easy), the point is to be interested and make sense, otherwise they seem useless, boring, and even cause anxiety , which should be prevented.
