Today 10.30 am don't miss Prof Yanik talking about Engineering brain activity patterns for therapeutics Aula 02, Via della Torretta n. 16, 50137 Firenze Or Zoom, more info here: neurofarba.unifi.it/art-323-9-febb…

@flavinska72 Thank you so much!🤗

@EliCastaldi Auguri, Elisa!☘️ I’m delighted for you!

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Associate Professor at the University of Florence!

New study in BMC Biologyl! We found that individuals with higher math anxiety exhibited worse numerosity thresholds as well as stronger central tendency and serial dependence effects compared to those with lower math anxiety. rdcu.be/eK25j

I wish there were more hybrid conferences like this one!

New study out! Congrats to @alirkarami !!

⏱️ There are various tasks and questionnaires, each takes only a few minutes. You can stop and resume at any time! 📩 If you're interested, please contact me at: elisa.castaldi@unifi.it

Looking for volunteers for an online study! Anyone aged between 18 and 85 who speaks fluent Italian or English can participate. 🎯 The study explores the relationship between numerical and visuospatial abilities, and how these are influenced by genetic, experiential factors.

These findings suggest that numerosity mechanisms may operate on categorized items in addition to the total quantity of the set.

In contrast, salient changes like motion or shape rotation had no impact, indicating that reduced adaptation depends on identity rather than novelty changes.
