Unfortunately, this has not been known for hundreds of years... :) I stated that the totality/infinity of visual/auditor impressions precedes retinal ...

As I said before: We witness the totality of visual/auditory impressions before retinal preprocessing. The retinal preprocessing adds "what's what" to...

I have not a problem with what you say. I'm stating something similar... :) I'm tired of repeating myself... I can only restate my position which seem...

Either way, you are having 2) happening on undecided 1) relations. I could claim a relation too... :) But I do not. You are still looking for the tota...

Why? :) You started with Consciousness happens - without anything like neuronal activity... :) Neuronal activity can produce only "what is what" or sk...

We are stuck here... :) You are asking for something to "... Produce a Conscious Visual experience"... The totality of visual experiences is simply th...
September 27, 2018 at 22:51
Actually - I said that... :) There are two effects of the retinal activity. The totality of visual experiences and hints and edges that travel through...

I was optimistic that this discussion could be ended by my joke... :) Obviously, I was wrong. We are doomed to endlessly debate this issue, for we can...
September 26, 2018 at 05:56
Again. Neural activity does not produce conscious experience. But, we are getting back to neuronal activity (not retinal activity) again --- as if we ...
September 25, 2018 at 20:20
That's the reason why reading the book I recommended would be useful... :) The difference between self and non-self is a root to what we call identity...

When awake, visual sensations have many layers... :) The most fundamental is an infinity of visual sensations, but without "what is what". In other wo...
September 24, 2018 at 04:52
While we are awake, the retina does not generate images. It simply contains the totality of visual sensations. Retinal pre-processing turns this total...

Yes... :) My Joke: ----- Since Libet's findings started to trickle out --- there was plenty of nonsense about our Free Will... :) What???!!! My Free W...
September 22, 2018 at 00:23
It is true that we do not have a proof about the activity of rods and cones in the retinas during the REM. For that, we would need a human subject + f...

I'm not convicted that REM does not contribute to the vividness of our dreams... :) Enjoy the day, :cool:

It's not a hallucination... :) The totality of visual experiences is in the activity of retinal neurons... Whatever is passed to the rest of the brain...
September 19, 2018 at 03:41
Since there is no totality of visual experiences in the rest of the brain - we can assume that the retinas offer the basis for the totality of visual ...
September 19, 2018 at 03:34
That's not what the science says... :) According to numerous findings - there is no anything like a reconstruction of visual impressions anywhere in t...
September 18, 2018 at 04:32
Retinal outputs are hints and edges - sketchy images... :) our impression of the visual images are vastly more than that. The further neuronal activit...

What do you mean with "V1 is Topologically mapped with the Retina"? Enjoy the day, :cool:
September 09, 2018 at 01:22
Based upon scientific research, there is no "detailed graphics" in our brain. So, I suggest that we see what our retinas see... :)

Exactly! Enjoy the day, :cool:

It needs to be considered together with another older research: http://unisci.com/stories/20011/0329011.htm :) Enjoy the day, :cool:

That's not entirely true. Some scientists talk about multiverse - that's unscientific for there is no way to prove the existence of any other universe...
