Neuroblogging: Modeling ideas of number | Science News | Scoop.it

What is this for? Well, first it’s a way to show how humans brains may encode numbers, but it also shows how our concepts of numbers may become more accurate over time (though we cannot yet measure this in humans). And it may be a good way to help model numerical learning disabilities in humans, looking at how their tuning curves develop. This is still theoretical, but it may help us to understand ideas of number.
