I meant visually manipulating mathematical expressions.
Well, it's hard to put into words what I do in my head when I do
mathematics... it probably does use visual cortex in some way, but's
not "visually manipulating mathematical expressions" nor using visual
metaphors...
I can completely describe. I completely do mathematics by visually
manipulating and visually replacing symbols with other symbols. I also
do mathematical reasoning and theorem proving with that. Mathematicians
commonly have high visuospatial intelligence, that's why they have high IQs.
