Scientific Understanding of Consciousness |
Vision and ConsciousnessIn normal waketime, early visual stages are part of the dynamic core of consciousness. Consciousness does not depend on the early stages of vision. Close your eyes -- you still have consciousness. When you are looking at minute objects, the neurons in the early stages of vision are a part of the dynamic core of consciousness. The active neuronal pattern in the visual pathway forms the neural image of what we see, combinatorial space of this synaptically-connected neuronal pattern is immense. |
