I wrote my article on a man named Stanislas Dehaene who is a neuroscientist based in Paris. This article focused on work that Dehaenehas been doing with numbers. It mentioned a man who had been nicknamed Mr. N. He recieved a brain injury and can no longer read or speak very well, he also has trouble counting and recognizing numbers. However one of the interesting things about Mr. N is that he can still recognize numbers even though he does not know which ones they are and he can also tell if they are bigger than another number. The writer did not write about himself throughout the article and didn't really put to much personal imput into the article. The article itself did not have a lot to offer in the way of visual appeal. The only thing that was in the article other than the text was a small comic. Overall the article was interesting and informative.
