ABSTRACT
The image is based on a fine-resolution magnetic resonance scan, manipulated by Brainvox, a collection of computational techniques that allow the fine neuroanatomical analysis of the brain. Images probably evolved and endured because they allowed organisms to perfect movements and plan even more perfect movements. The fact that perception and recall are compromised by damage at the same site and that no other site of damage encountered so far produces such a defect is one among several findings to suggest that early sensory cortices are the critical base for processes of image making in the brain. Convergence zones are located throughout the association cortices and subcortical nuclei, including the thalamus, a structure we believe to be critical both for making images and for generating the process of subjectivity, and they contain a storehouse of knowledge in the form of dispositional representations, ready to be activated.
