Analysis of monkey brains
VoorArgument
1
#3729
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.
Felleman & Van Essen, 1991; Tootell, Silverman, Switkes, & De Valois, 1982.
Discussed in: Kosslyn and Thompson (2003).

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☜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 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

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

Geometric structure is functional and physical☜The geometric structure of these areas is functional as well as physical; patterns of neural activation in these areas depict the surfaces of perceived stimuli—i.e. they reflect the geometric structure of the planar projection of a stimulus.☜98CE71
