D-Wave’s Quantum Computer Serves as Brains Behind Study That Connects Neural Activity to Academic Performance


Researchers used D-Wave’s quantum computing technology to explore the relationship between prefrontal brain activity and academic achievement, particularly focusing on the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) scores in South Korea.

The study, published by a multi-institutional team of researchers across Korea in Scientific Reports, relied on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain signals during various cognitive tasks and then applied a quantum annealing algorithm to identify patterns correlating with higher academic performance.

The team identified several cognitive tasks that might boost CSAT score — and that could have significant implications for educational strategies and cognitive neuroscience. The use of a quantum computer as a partner in the research process could also be a step towards practical applications of quantum computing in neuroimaging and cognitive assessment. 


According to the researchers, the primary takeaway from this study is its potential application in enhancing educational outcomes by identifying specific cognitive tasks that are closely linked to academic achievement. By understanding which tasks activate the brain in ways that correlate with higher CSAT scores, educators and policymakers might be able to tailor educational programs to focus on these tasks — and that, the team hopes, could boost academic performance on a broad scale.

The research revealed that tasks such as verbal fluency, recognition, and the Corsi block-tapping task are strongly associated with higher CSAT scores. These findings suggest that activities enhancing these cognitive skills could be incorporated into educational curricula to help students improve their academic performance.

Climate change

Image
  Climate change presents a fundamental threat to human health. It affects the physical environment as well as all aspects of both natural and human systems – including social and economic conditions and the functioning of health systems. It is therefore a threat multiplier, undermining and potentially reversing decades of health progress. As climatic conditions change, more frequent and intensifying weather and climate events are observed, including storms, extreme heat, floods, droughts and wildfires. These weather and climate hazards affect health both directly and indirectly, increasing the risk of deaths, noncommunicable diseases, the emergence and spread of infectious diseases, and health emergencies. Climate change impacts on health Climate change is impacting health in a myriad of ways, including by leading to death and illness from increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, storms and floods, the disruption of food systems, increases in zoonoses and fo
