It was hypothesized that the region for visual digits, known as the number form area, would be in ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC), near other visual category-specific regions, such as the visual word form area. However, neuroimaging investigations searching for a region that responds in a category-specific manner to the visual presentation of number symbols have yielded inconsistent results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this talk, I will report on a project exploring whether the putative &#8216;number form area&#8217; can be reliably located in a reproducible region in the vOTC and whether it is truly a category-specific region for number symbols. I will also share what I learned about open science along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following item is now cancelled to due the precautions concerning the COVID-19 spread: Date:&nbsp;March 18, 2020 03:00pm -4:30pm Location:&nbsp;Dunton Tower: Room 2203 Title:&nbsp;Searching for the visual number form area: A registered replication study Speaker:&nbsp;Rebecca Merkley Abstract: The triple-code model of number representation proposed that there are three distinct brain regions for three different numerical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10217,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11873"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11873\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11881,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11873\/revisions\/11881"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
