This study investigates the impact of handwriting versus typewriting on brain connectivity using high-density EEG. The results show significantly more elaborate brain connectivity patterns during handwriting compared to typewriting, particularly in theta/alpha frequency bands within parietal and central brain regions crucial for memory formation and learning. The researchers suggest that the precise motor control and sensorimotor integration involved in handwriting contribute to enhanced learning, advocating for continued handwriting practice in education.
