Autorentext
Stanislas Dehaene, geb. 1965, Mathematiker und Psychologe, ist einer der weltweit führenden Kognitionswissenschaftler. 2005 wurde er zum Mitglied der Académie des Sciences gewählt und Professor am Collège de France, wo ein neuer Lehrstuhl für Experimentelle Wahrnehmungspsychologie eingerichtet wurde. Dort erforscht Dehaene die Grundlagen des Lesens, Schreibens und Rechnens.
