It showed the numerical distance effect, which is what they were looking for. So their conclusion was there's no difference in the way that the brain sees zero than the other numbers. Zero in terms of both the digit zero and like zero objects.

The second group also found that the brain puts zero before one on the mental number line, but they found subtle differences that still made zero special in the brain. So, for example, they found that more neurons had zero as their preferred number than other small numbers. That suggested to them that the brain might be representing, you know, this empty set with more neurons.

accuracy than it does for other small quantities. But this was only true for quantity zero. For the digit zero, they did not find any difference. Like the brain saw the digit zero like it does the other digits, like one, two, three.

So in as you're doing this reporting, do you find that these like these conclusions are complimentary? Do you think that they're like fighting each other? What do you think?

Yeah. So I actually it was funny because I had both groups kind of look at each other's results and I was like, what's going on here? It's slightly different. And they both said that they think, you know, their results are complementary, actually. And the reason for the discrepancy was most likely just scale.

And, you know, they're hopeful that future experiments will be able to kind of tease apart, you know, what the nuances of this are.
