BS 170 is an interview with Andreas Nieder, author of "A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct." We talk about the surprising discovery that a wide variety of animals have a number instinct, which is called the approximate number system. This appears to provide the basis for the more abstract mathematical abilities that are seen in humans. We also explore the relationship between mathematics and language.

BS 170 Numbers in the Brain with Andreas Nieder

Are we born with an intuitive understanding of numbers or is it something we learn later in life? In today's fascinating episode we discuss the number instinct, what it is, how it’s traced back evolutionarily, the biological underpinnings and more. To learn more read Andreas book: A brain for numbers. Andreas Nieder is a professor of animal physiology and the director of the institute of neurobiology (University of Tübingen).
