Cortical oxygen consumption in mental arithmetic as a function of task difficulty: a near-infrared spectroscopy approach.

abstract：:Continuous dimensions, such as time, space, and numerosity, have been suggested to be subserved by common neurocognitive mechanisms. Neuroimaging studies that have investigated either one or two dimensions simultaneously have consistently identified neural correlates in the parietal cortex of the brain. However, studi...
