Book Description:
|
Explores evolutionary functions of certain sensations, youngling vivid images, and self-consciousness, then presents evidence that the most primitive sensation has a survival-promoting function. The third chapter presents evidence that visually imagined sensations are the subjective qualities of retinal receptors that are corticofugally innervated in warm-blooded animals. The final chapter focuses on self-conscious reality-testing and on visuo-spatial self-conceptualization.
