About Brian Butterworth
  
Brian Butterworth is Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology at University College London, Adjunct Professor at National Cheng Chi University, Taiwan, Professorial Fellow at Melbourne University, Australia, and Research Consultant at Ospedale San Camillo Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico in Venice, Italy.
 
He taught at Cambridge University for eight years and has held visiting appointments at MIT and the Max Planck Institute at Nijmegen. He is currently working on the neuroscience and the genetics of mathematical abilities and disabilities. He was elected Fellow of the British Academy in 2002.
 
His popular science book, The Mathematical Brain, was a best seller. His next book, co-edited with Denis Mareschal and Andrew Tolmie, Educational Neuroscience, was published by Wiley in December 2013.
 
His most recent book, Can Fish Count?, was published by Quercus Books in the UK and by Basic Books in the USA in Spring, 2022.
