Using and misusing neuroscience in education-related research.

The relationship between neuroscience and education can prove most fruitful when it fosters a bidirectional exchange of ideas and approaches. The connection between neuroscience and education can be guided by defining roles, approaches, implications, and applications. The purpose of this discussion is to clarify the perspectives of neuroscience and education towards maximizing the communication and utility of research progress. Clarifying the roles and contributions can prevent misuses and foster the positive uses of neuroscience in education (and vice-versa).
