title: Number knows no bounds.
abstract: Is the approximate representation of large numbers in adult humans bound to a sensory modality or other aspects of the stimulus presentation, or are these non-verbal numerical representations abstract? A recent paper by Barth, Kanwisher and Spelke provides compelling evidence that non-verbal mental magnitudes are modality-independent.
