Connecting Visual Objects Reduces Perceived Numerosity and Density for Sparse but not Dense Patterns

How is numerosity encoded by the visual system? – directly, or derived indirectly from texture density? We recently suggested that the numerosity of sparse patterns is encoded directly by dedicated mechanisms (which have been described as the “Approximate Number System” ANS). However, at high dot de...
