The brain is more flexible than imagined: visual processors in individuals born blind can be recruited for language instead.
He developed the remarkable power to generate, hold, and manipulate images in his mind; and he has been able to construct an imagined visual world just as real to him as the perceptual one he lost.
Those who have endorsed the concept of the director-as-auteur have too often done so in terms of imagining visual style stuck, so to speak, in the interstices of someone else's script; those who reject auteurism often do so in terms of giving screenwriters their due.
If, as Kosslyn now holds, these retinotopic maps are the embodiment of his theory's visual buffer, this means that loci in the brain that represent the presence of the same sorts of features (e.g., the color, or the state of motion) of adjacent areas of an imagined visual scene will, after all, be (for the most part) physically adjacent in the brain.
Despite this expectation, the results from several prior experiments have been inconsistent, reflecting the difficulty associated with using imagined visual stimuli in experimental settings [15] [20].
The guided imagery uses verbal suggestions to create a flow of thoughts that focus the individual's attention on imagined visual, auditory, tactile, or olfactory sensations.
It really feeds my imagination to be able to imagine a visual and physical representation of what I want and be fearless in sexualizing it.
Martin argues that in order to capture adequately the respect in which the phenomenology of visualising an F has some correspondence with the phenomenology of having a visual experience of an F, we should accept the dependency thesis the thesis that to visualise an F is to imagine a visual experience of an F.
The human form is so pervasive in Western art that it is almost impossible to imagine our visual culture without it.
(ii) He argues for a thesis about visualising the 'dependency thesis', which states that to visualise an F is to imagine a visual experience of an F. (For an influential discussion of this idea, see Williams 1973. For an endorsement of the view, see Peacocke 1985 and Vendler 1984).
