Numerosity is estimated directly in early visual cortex via aggregate Fourier power - a satisfying solution to a super rewarding 7T fMRI postdoc project with @benmarkharvey, keen to discuss with everyone at #MCLS2022@mathcogsociety
Ever since I started thinking about numerosity, I have wondered how the visual system estimates numerosity so easily without large effects of item size and spacing. Our new paper at Nature Communication with @Jacob_M_Paul shows how this could be done.

Concluded the hub's 1st Symposium today with an interactive, mind tickling panel on the Developing Brain!
Feel free to get in touch with these great researchers after this event if you have more questions and ideas!
@SharnaJamadar@idumontheil@Jacob_M_Paul
Thankyou to our speakers in the Developing Brain session at the Cog Neuro Hub Symposium.
Learning about the brain in children and in normative ageing from @SharnaJamadar and @Jacob_M_Paul
Throwback to last week #ScienceWeek when we saw the eyes of these children glimmer with new fascination and knowledge about their own brains! 🧠🤩
It was also the perfect platform for our researchers to practice explaining our work in layman terms 💯

Interested in a PhD in my lab? And looking for an international experience and spend part of the PhD in Melbourne with @idumontheil and @Jacob_M_Paul Check out this position https://t.co/KZp9KtU1Pn @elienbellon
Want to help uncovering the mysteries of metacognition? Passionate about how children think about their thinking? Then think about applying for this joint PhD and join 2 wonderful labs!
We've all heard of dyslexia. Our latest episode explores what some call the maths version of dyslexia.
We're talking to Dr @Jacob_M_Paul, a cognitive neuroscientist with @Psychunimelb. His work focuses on trying to understand maths learning disorders.

Great podcast with academic colleague and cognitive neuroscientist, Dr @Jacob_M_Paul. Dyscalculia and related difficulties with learning maths are often under-recognised. Great to raise awareness of this important matter and looking forward to the research to come!
Why do some people struggle with #maths? We're talking to Dr @Jacob_M_Paul, a cognitive neuroscientist with @Psychunimelb. His research focuses on trying to understand maths learning disorders, including one disorder that affects ~ 5%-7% of all people. Our host is Cynthia Huang.
New paper! Numerical and temporal quantity estimations show behavioral similarities, but what does the brain says? @Jacob_M_Paul co-authored a paper which tells us more about this! https://t.co/xC3dpOgsLe
