Interesting experiment
"... when anticipating an upcoming math-task, the higher one's math anxiety, the more one increases activity in regions associated with visceral threat detection, and often the expierience of pain itself. Interestingly, this relation was not seen during math performence, suggesting that it is not that math itself hurts; rather, the anticipation of math is painful. "
