In an article published in October 2015 it was stated that the process of obtaining specific brain responses to different pixelized images in the primary visual cortex “is still unknown.” (Bing-Bing Guo et al, “Decoding Brain Responses to Pixelized Images in the Primary Visual Cortex: Implications for Visual Cortical Prostheses,” Neural Regeneration Research, Vol. 10.) However, specific brain activation patterns to pixelized images have been obtained above a chance level by the authors. They noted that “the relationship between visual space and cortical space is non-linear and non-conformal, so it is hard to accurately remap visual space onto cortical space.”
I offer the following question, drawing upon my previously posted blogs: Can pixelized images generate encoded waveforms wirelessly transmitted that can be “matched” with modular waveforms in the visual cortex established over a lifetime and archived in memory? If so, perhaps a synchronization of the waveforms could be achieved that would reflect the pixelized images sent to the cortical modular “detectors.” The cognitive mind of blind subjects would interpret the encoded waveforms as sight drawing upon encoded memory. If such a process would be possible it would map visual space to cortical space. There would be significant technological issues to address, but their resolution would involve the immaterial cognitive mind and its interaction with the material components of the visual cortex.
The last several posts have addressed the process by which visual spaces/images are mapped to visual cortical space of the brain so that one perceives given images. Attention has been given to a process to restore this function to sight-impaired individuals. It is a wonderful research activity that is drawing upon God’s created visual networks of the human brain. It is also my intention to suggest a process by which the Holy Spirit can instantiate neural codes directly into waveforms that are transmitted through synaptic networks to give visual information to cognitive minds.
