From “sense of number” to “sense of magnitude”: The role of continuous magnitudes in numerical cognition

T Leibovich, N Katzin, M Harel… - Behavioral and Brain …, 2017 - cambridge.org
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 …

Number as a primary perceptual attribute: A review

G Anobile, GM Cicchini, DC Burr - Perception, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
Although humans are the only species to possess language-driven abstract mathematical
capacities, we share with many other animals a nonverbal capacity for estimating quantities …

Artificial intelligence applications in medical imaging: A review of the medical physics research in Italy

Number detectors spontaneously emerge in a deep neural network designed for visual object recognition

K Nasr, P Viswanathan, A Nieder - Science advances, 2019 - science.org
Humans and animals have a “number sense,” an innate capability to intuitively assess the
number of visual items in a set, its numerosity. This capability implies that mechanisms to …

A sensorimotor numerosity system

G Anobile, R Arrighi, E Castaldi, DC Burr - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2021 - cell.com
Incoming sensory input provides information for the planning and execution of actions,
which yield motor outcomes that are themselves sensory inputs. One dimension where …

Psychophysical evidence for the number sense

DC Burr, G Anobile, R Arrighi - … Transactions of the …, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
It is now clear that most animals, including humans, possess an ability to rapidly estimate
number. Some have questioned whether this ability arises from dedicated numerosity …

Early numerosity encoding in visual cortex is not sufficient for the representation of numerical magnitude

M Fornaciai, J Park - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2018 - direct.mit.edu
Recent studies have demonstrated that the numerosity of visually presented dot arrays is
represented in low-level visual cortex extremely early in latency. However, whether or not …

Numerosity processing in early visual cortex

M Fornaciai, EM Brannon, MG Woldorff, J Park - NeuroImage, 2017 - Elsevier
While parietal cortex is thought to be critical for representing numerical magnitudes, we
recently reported an event-related potential (ERP) study demonstrating selective neural …

Serial dependence in numerosity perception

M Fornaciai, J Park - Journal of Vision, 2018 - jov.arvojournals.org
Our conscious experience of the external world is remarkably stable and seamless, despite
the intrinsically discontinuous and noisy nature of sensory information. Serial dependencies …

Numerical encoding in early visual cortex

NK DeWind, J Park, MG Woldorff, EM Brannon - Cortex, 2019 - Elsevier
The ability to estimate numerosity in a visual array arose early in evolution, develops early in
human development, and is correlated with mathematical ability. Previous work with visually …
