"Despite their importance for scene perception, we still do not fully understand what is contained in our internal models of the environment."

Well, it is completely explained. But I can't force you to read it.

"Just like you and me she has thoughts, emotions, desires, friendships, joy, grief and everything in between."

We often project human qualities onto animal behaviour, but it would be more accurate to say that we have not anything in common with apes.

Gilly Forrester @gillyforrester.bsky.social · 1d

Do you recognise her? It's because we're related. Just like you and me she has thoughts, emotions, desires, friendships, joy, grief and everything in between. When we learn about what it means to be human we are also learning what it means to be ape.

It doesnt really surprise me that he gives up.

Alfred Nobel @alfrednobel.bsky.social · 2d

Otherwise you would only pile billions of data which you never be capable to link to any function.

I tried to convince him of the fact that maybe in the end you will find an algorythm which could explain behaviour but it will always remain a black box c.q. one big enigma.

3-4 years ago I had a brief contact with Michael X Cohen irt to Gramann's MoBi research.

The quintessence of the debate was that I tried to convince him of the importance of an explanatory model or the beginning of an explanatory model (Like I want to do in the "neuro"-group in here).

I do not debate anything at the neuronal level because I simply have no relevant knowledge at that level.

At the functional level, regarding car drivers, athletes, etc. etc., most neuroscientists have no clue what they are talking about.

drivers- bob-sleighers create the images you are referring to. (Although, you probably will not be interested. Like with all the articles I sent you).

(I do not dislike neuroscientists in general. I dislike some parts of your professional attitude. But am I not allowed to that opinion?)

Alfred Nobel @alfrednobel.bsky.social · 2d

You are referring to templates irt sequential learning. And that is fully explained. So, no debate on my side.

When I have finished my upcoming articles fully explaining "Why we cant tickle ourselves" , and "The rubber hand illusion" (which is not an illusion), I will write an article how F1-

Alfred Nobel @alfrednobel.bsky.social · 2d

No, this has nothing in common with the topic at hand.

The mentioned research articles must be linked to the construction of templates which athletes and race car drivers develop.

Alfred Nobel @alfrednobel.bsky.social · 3d

So when you actually see a red apple (external and bottom up) and the image reaches the retina, the brain instantly fires (internal and top down) at the retina within a feed-back loop.

So when you want to imagine a red apple the external image is not there but the brain fires (internal and

"Technically, the only exception is the retina which is arguably part of the brain but it "contains" an actual image."

(I see my grandma just in front of me, I smell her apple cake).

Or do you think that the brain hosts a separate "sensing system/organ". From an ecological stance this is absolutely not acceptable.

Alfred Nobel @alfrednobel.bsky.social · 3d

I understand your point in "your" discussion. In "my" debate at "my" page I emphasize the very neglected role of the intermediary senses and TGM.

So you agree that the brain doesn't contain images of any kind, then where are those images constructed?

Alfred Nobel @alfrednobel.bsky.social · 3d

No, it is an image. 😂

Such internal phenomena are devoid of meaning unless reconnected to the sensory systems from which they originate.

Do sane scientists really think that an image of an apple actually exists inside the brain?

Imo, the brain neither sees nor hears. It stores autonomous internal phenomena that originate from external auditory and visual stimuli received through the senses.

These internal phenomena

See my earlier comment ragrding the "seeing" of movement.

Alfred Nobel @alfrednobel.bsky.social · 3d

Imo the brain doesnt see or hear. It converges autonomous external auditory and visual stimuli into completely autonomous internal phenomena.

PHENOMENA THAT DONT HAVE ANYTHING WITH SEEING OR HEARING (sorry sometimes I need to shout😁).
