“…Taking into account of temporal profiles of oscillatory changes in the first experimental paradigm, we concluded that non-experts might use serial processing; in contrast, experts may utilize parallel processing (see Supplementary Figures S11, S12). We could propose calculation processing in both abacus expert and non-experts based on our new findings and some previous studies (Hanakawa et al, 2002(Hanakawa et al, , 2003Arsalidou and Taylor, 2011;Tanaka et al, 2012;Pinel and Dehaene, 2013;Amalric and Dehaene, 2017). In non-experts, from 75 ms visual processing of presented numbers start in the bilateral medial occipital, then from 150 ms figurative cognition of numbers in the inferior temporal Pinel et al, 1999) and numeric processing in the bilateral IPS Cohen et al, 2000;Rickard et al, 2000;Kazui et al, 2000;Bugden et al, 2019), from 200 ms inner speech in the left IFG , from 250 ms working memory in the DLPFC (Rickard et al, 2000), and finally from 400 ms addition with carrying in the IPS starts.…”
