I saw the same thing... it was like she was trying to give sexy looks while also teaching me math. Rather distracting. Did you also notice that?

I suspect that's the point -- evoking a motivating and memory-enhancing dopamine shot -- a la the Van Wilder tutors.
Sounds like bogus. Being primed for math and being primed for sex feels like two completely different modes to me.
Thinking about sex primes the brain for analytical thinking: http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/Mathematics-and-sex-Clio-Cres...
Too bad that's TEDx, and not a real TED talk.
Oh huh... I don't know if I like that, but if it works then I guess it works
