The Number Sense by Stanislas Dehaene
Our understanding of how the human brain performs mathematical calculations is far from complete, but in recent years there have been many exciting scientific discoveries, some aided by new imaging techniques - which allow us for the first time to watch the living mind at work - and others by ingenious experiments conducted by researchers all over the world. There are still perplexing mysteries - how, for instance, do idiot savants perform almost miraculous mathematical feats? - but the picture is growing steadily clearer. In this work, Stanislas Dehaene offers readers a look at these recent discoveries, in an exploration of the mathematical mind.Before becoming one of the world's most active researchers on the cognitive neuroscience of language and number processing in the human brain, Stanislas Dehaene was trained as a mathematician and psychologist. He is the author of The Number Sense and Reading in the Brain, both of which have been widely published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. He is based in France.
