I don't really think this is literally true, but as always, it's not what I think that matters, it's what the evidence says. And it's hard, because the experiments reported require quite a bit of interpretation. Still, there's a sense to "the idea that you see numbers is not so different from the idea that you see shapes." I can imagine some sort of 'direct perception' of number - but whether that extends to some sort of perception of 'math' in the way there would be a direct perception of 'geometry' is open for debate.
