Researching something else I came upon this book, The Number Sense: How the Mind Creates Mathematics by Stanislas Dehaene. (Free at Scribd in embedded link.) I was led to it by various reviews
of his work, one of which is by Lakoff with high praise. And it just so
happens that I've recently become aware of Dehaene, as he was one of
the authors who refuted some aspects
of Libet's famous experiment that reductionists have been using for
years to justify the absence of conscious will. Synchronous indeed.
Update: He has a new book out on the topic, Space, Time and Number in the Brain.
