This study reveals distinct neural codes for visual numerosity across the brain, showing that numerosity is independently represented from early visual areas to higher-level regions along both dorsal ...

Perceptual adaptation has been widely used to infer the existence of numerosity detectors, enabling animals to quickly estimate the number of objects in a scene. Here, we investigated, in humans, whet...

Abstract. When objects are grouped in space, humans can estimate numerosity more precisely than when they are randomly scattered. This phenomenon, called groupitizing, is thought to arise from the int...

This study examined the role of age and culture in determining spatial-numerical associations. Results showed all groups displayed implicit left-to-right biases, suggesting a biological basis for spac...

The objective assessment of cognitive processes is of critical importance to understanding the mechanisms underlying various mental functions and dysf…

Objective: Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has seldom been used to study visuospatial (VS) circuits so far. Our work studied (I) VS functions in neurosurgical oncological patients b...
