Dehn surgery, rational open books and knot Floer homology

, 2012
By recent results of Baker--Etnyre--Van Horn-Morris, a rational open book decomposition defines a compatible contact structure. We show that the Heegaard Floer contact invariant of such a contact structure can be computed in terms of the knot Floer ...

Unimanual SNARC Effect: Hand Matters

Frontiers in Psychology, 2011
A structural representation of the hand embedding information about the identity and relative position of fingers is necessary to counting routines. It may also support associations between numbers and allocentric spatial codes that predictably interact ...

Counting Near Infrared Photons with Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors

, 2017
We demonstrate photon counting at 1550 nm wavelength using microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) made from TiN/Ti/TiN trilayer films with superconducting transition temperature Tc ~ 1.4 K.

You Can Count on Your Fingers: The Role of Fingers in Early Mathematical Development

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2018
Even though mathematics is considered one of the most abstract domains of human cognition, recent work on embodiment of mathematics has shown that we make sense of mathematical concepts by using insights and skills acquired through bodily activity ...

You can count on your fingers: Finger-based intervention improves first-graders’ arithmetic learning

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology
The question of whether finger use should be encouraged or discouraged in early mathematics instruction remains a topic of debate. Scientific evidence on this matter is scarce due to the limited number of systematic intervention studies. Accordingly, we conducted an intervention study in which first-graders (Mage = 6.48 years, SD = 0.35) completed a ...

Design and evaluation of a systematic finger-based intervention for early numeracy in 5- to 6-year-olds

Scientific Reports
Early numeracy is a building block for later mathematics achievement in school. Recently, the use of fingers in early numeracy instruction received increasing attention as a prominent example of embodied cognition.
