The brain processes numbers in different ways, depending on the context. A new study shows that the brain uses two distinct neural systems for number processing: one for symbolic numbers, such as digits and words, and one for non-symbolic numbers, such as dots and sounds. The study also reveals how the brain switches between these systems depending on the task.

Hello fellow #mastodons and beyond!

I thought I'd make an #Introduction.

I am an overly-excited and eclectic PhD Candidate at the #UniversityofMelbourne in Theoretical & Computational #NeuroscienceofConsciousness. Where I'm primarily attempting to explore how we can quantify #emergence in #neuralsystems to better inform scientific theories of #consciousness.

I know what you're thinking: that's a dense sentence! So let me try be more specific, and hopefully, even denser..
