No: computers can't understand images [5b]☜Computers cant think because they cant use images in the way that people do. Computers can only deal with formal symbolic information.☜59C6EF

Images represented by filled cells in an array
Images represented by filled cells in an array☜Cells in a matrix inside a machine’s memory function as if they were arranged in a visual array. Images correspond to filled cells within such an array. Array-based sensory patterns are interpreted by higher-level systems. ☜EF597B

Images are Quasi-pictorial representations
Images are Quasi-pictorial representations☜Images are quasi-pictorial entities with special properties that correspond to those of their correlated physical objects. Images possess structure by virtue of their ties to higher-perceptual processes.☜98CE71

Image Psychology
Image Psychology☜Members of the image school of psychology claim that images play an essential role in thinking. ☜98CE71

Experimental evidence
Experimental evidence☜Kosslyn argues that image psychology is supported by experimental evidence.☜98CE71

Neuroimaging evidence
Neuroimaging evidence☜Modern neuroimaging techniques provide new experimental evidence in support of theories of visual mental imagery—suggesting that explanations based solely on language-descriptions are insufficient.☜FF97FF

Activation of early visual cortex
Activation of early visual cortex☜Imagery shouldnt be activated in the early visual cortex if the participants are using propositional representations exlusively when performing imagery experiments.☜98CE71

Participants can't influence brain areas voluntarily
Participants can't influence brain areas voluntarily☜Even if participants were aware of the relevant areas of the brain, they have no way voluntarily to activate a brain area in an attempt to mimic what they believe would happen during perception.☜98CE71

Participants not aware of relevant brain areas
Participants not aware of relevant brain areas☜Participants do not know which parts of their brains are active when they perform a given task.☜98CE71

Argument undermined by neuroimaging evidence
Argument undermined by neuroimaging evidence☜The tacit knowledge objection to the behavioural evidence is not supported by the findings from modern neuroimaging studies.☜FFFACD

Analysis of monkey brains
Analysis of monkey brains☜Approximately 32 areas of the monkey cerebral cortex contain neurons that respond selectively to visual input; moreover, about half of these areas are topographically organized—they preserve (roughly) the geometric structure of the retina.☜98CE71
