Action-based routes for numbers: unveiling the core networks of reaching, grasping and number processing in brain damaged and healthy individuals.

Project description

Handy marker for numerical cognitive deficits

Numerical processing deficits are relatively common but rarely evaluated, yet highly disabling. Given that access to high-tech neural imaging equipment is uncommon in most clinical practices, a low-tech and reliable diagnostic technique is needed. Actions are things we can observe and characterise relatively easily. The EU-funded GRINP project is testing whether the same sensorimotor networks that are activated during reaching and grasping are also involved in numerical processing. If so, clinicians can use behaviour to assess patients for numerical cognitive deficits.
