Neuroplasticity allows your neurons to form new connections and strengthen important existing ones. I can’t really answer this question, that sounds more like a cognitive/behavioral kind of thing, but physically this is what’s happening. As you put more effort into understanding a particular math problem you strengthen those connections responsible for math and become better at it. You can be wrong about it, it wouldn’t be any different than if you thought you were correct.
They are also different for each person, if I had a device that could read your mind I wouldn’t be able to make any sense of it since it’s not in English. I would have to train my interpretation software for your specific brain, and it would probably require constant calibration.
