In this review, we are pitting two theories against each other: the more accepted theory, the
number sense theory, suggesting that a sense of number is innate and non-symbolic …

Despite the impressive complexity and processing power of the human brain, it is severely
capacity limited. Behavioral research has highlighted three major bottlenecks of information …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

At any instant, our visual system allows us to perceive a rich and detailed visual world. Yet
our internal, explicit representation of this visual world is extremely sparse: we can only hold …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess the maximal degree of
shared neural processing in visual mental imagery and visual perception. Participants either …

The expressive power of language lies in its ability to construct an infinite array of ideas out
of a finite set of pieces. Surprisingly, few neurolinguistic investigations probe the basic …

Vascular development is a complex but orderly process that is tightly regulated. A number of
secreted factors produced by surrounding cells regulate endothelial cell (EC) differentiation …

Humans show a severe capacity limit in the number of objects they can store in visual short-
term memory (VSTM). We recently demonstrated with functional magnetic resonance …

The standard behavioral index for human consciousness is the ability to report events with
accuracy. While this method is routinely used for scientific and medical applications in …

The world is experienced as a unified whole, but sensory systems do not deliver it to the
brain in this way. Signals from different sensory modalities are initially registered in separate …
