  1. Can your brain learn to "truly see" the soundscapes? youtube.com/watch?v=nVugtxWmW4E Try the sound-guided mental imagery exercise. #immutable #qualia?

  2. (LinkedIn) Conjecture: Human #qualia are not (so much) linked to relational structures, symmetries, sensorimotor invariants etc within perceptual content, but rather linked to a small set of specific discrete brainwave constellations evoked by the perceptual input linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:l

  3. "Cross-modal remapping. During extensive sensory-substitution learning, the really interesting question becomes not merely whether auditory information activates visual cortex, but whether activity begins occupying dynamical modes normally associated with visual experience. If visual-like phenomenology eventually appeared, your theory predicts convergence at the level of these modes rather than necessarily convergence of the complete representational architecture." #BCI #blindness

    The big challenge and Holy Grail of visual-to-auditory sensory substitution is then to somehow (training, behaviors, other stimuli, drugs, ...) evoke in late-blind people the spatiotemporal brainwave constellations associated with normal vision (eyesight). #qualia

  8. @amcewen Yes, if the glue is water-based (avoiding much VoC and pals) I suppose it almost has to be. For me, 16kg is 16/25ths of a bag of coal. %-P
