A comparative study of the cortical function during the interpretation of algorithms in pseudocode and the solution of first-order algebraic equations.

ABSTRACT: This study intends to determine whether similarities of the functioning of the cerebral cortex exist, modeled as a graph, during the execution of mathematical tasks and programming related tasks. The comparison is done using network parameters and during the development of computer programming tasks and the solution of first-order algebraic equations. For that purpose, electroencephalographic recordings (EEG) were made with a volunteer group of 16 students of systems engineering of Universidad del Norte in Colombia, while they were performing computer programming tasks and solving first-order algebraic equations with three levels of difficulty. Then, based on the Synchronization Likelihood method, graph models of functional cortical networks were developed, whose parameters of Small-Worldn
