This study uses MEG to decode symbolic and non-symbolic number stimuli, finding format-specific representations rather than a single abstract number representation.

How to make “number lines” stable in the mind’s eye

This study shows that mental number lines become more stable when observers combine spatial and magnitude codes for numbers, indicating contextual influence rather than inherent representation.

Attentional amplification of neural codes for number independent of other quantities along the dorsal visual stream

The paper shows that numerosity is processed independently of other dimensions in the dorsal visual stream and is amplified by attention.

Reconstructing the origins of the space-number association: spatial and number-magnitude codes must be used jointly to elicit spatially organised mental number lines.
