Representing magnitude information in various dimensions, including space, quantity, and
time, is an important function of the human brain. Many previous studies reported that …

How the extraordinary multisensory phenomenon of synesthesia has changed our
traditional view of the brain. A person with synesthesia might feel the flavor of food on her …

Nonsymbolic number and its continuous visual properties are confounded in everyday life:
When number changes, its continuous visual properties also change. It could therefore be …

In the phenomenon of spatial sequence synesthesia (SSS), subjects can articulate explicit
spatial locations for sequences such as numbers, letters, weekdays, months, years, and …

Time is believed to be a part of the generalized magnitude system just like space and
quantity. Previous research suggests that time perception can be affected by magnitude in …

The ability to map between non-symbolic and symbolic magnitude representations is crucial
in the development of mathematics and this map is disturbed in children with math …

Humans can perceive and estimate approximate numerical information, even when accurate
counting is impossible eg, due to short presentation time. If the number of objects to be …

Background It is widely agreed that numbers automatically activate a magnitude
representation. Nevertheless, so far no systematic evaluation of the neuro-cognitive …

In the last few years, the existence of a pure number sense has been challenged. Recent
studies suggest that numerosity processing is influenced not only by the number of elements …

To investigate whether the semantic processing of numbers is notation-dependent or
notation-independent, three notation stimuli—Arabic digits, Chinese numerals written in …
