Distinct neural representations of perceptual and numerical absence in the human brain

2025-07-24

Abstract excerpt

<p>The ability to represent absences is fundamental to human perception and cognition. Sensitivity to perceptual absences depends on inferring a lack of sensory evidence, enabling the recognition of a lack of environmental resources or other objects. In turn, encoding absence as a concept – in the form of the number zero – has enabled a multitude of technological and mathematical advances. Whether perceptual and c...
