This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust (WT88378). We thank K. Cohen Kadosh, A. Coway, C.-H. Juan, R. Kanai, S. Soskic, D.B. Terhune, J. Tzelgov, and V. Walsh for their contributions at different stages of the project.
R.C.K. has filed a patent entitled “Apparatus for Improving and/or Maintaining Numerical Ability” (International Application PCT/GB2011/050211). The current results, however, are highly unlikely to lead to any financial gain, as they reveal a potential problem of using the apparatus (noninvasive brain stimulation) for numerical enhancement. T.I. declares no competing financial interests.
