    Manuela Piazza
    Center for Mind Brain Sciences, University of Trento, Italy
    Cognition 121:147-53. 2011
    ..Here we provide first direct evidence for the alternative object indexing hypothesis, and show that subitizing reflects a domain general mechanism shared with other tasks that require multiple object individuation...

    David Melcher
    Center for Mind Brain Sciences CIMeC, University of Trento, Rovereto, Italy
    PLoS ONE 6:e29296. 2011
    ..Overall, the pattern of results suggests that our abilities to enumerate and remember small groups of stimuli are grounded in an attentional priority or salience map which represents the location of important items...

    Neuron 44:547-55. 2004
    ..Anatomically, the intraparietal site coding for number in humans is compatible with that observed in macaque monkeys. Our results therefore suggest an evolutionary basis for human elementary arithmetic...

    Manuela Piazza
    Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, London, United Kingdom
    Neuroimage 15:435-46. 2002
