We investigated grapheme-colour synaesthesia and found that (1) The induced colours led
to perceptual grouping and pop-out,(2) a number rendered invisible through'crowding'or …

of knowledge? We have previously argued that the number domain provides a good …

For decades, scientists who heard about synesthesia hearing colors, tasting words, seeing
colored pain just shrugged their shoulders or rolled their eyes. Now, as irrefutable evidence …

Abstract Number, like color or movement, is a basic property of the environment. Recently,
single neurons tuned to number have been observed in animals. We used both …

A striking way in which humans differ from non-human primates is in their ability to represent
numerical quantity using abstract symbols and to use these'mental tools' to perform skills …

Recent studies in human neuroimaging, primate neurophysiology, and developmental
neuropsychology indicate that the human ability for arithmetic has a tangible cerebral …
