This chapter reports on an initiative in educational research in mathematics education that is augmenting traditional methods of educational research with methods of cognitive neuroscience and psychophysiology. Background and motivation are provided for this initiative—referred to here as mathematics educational neuroscience. Relations and differences between cognitive neuroscience and educational neuroscience are proposed that may have some bearing as to how this area unfolds. The key role of embodied cognition as a theoretical framework is discussed in some detail, and some methodological considerations are presented and illustrated as well.
