Recently, we put forwarded a redox molecular hypothesis involving the natural biophysical substrate of visual perception and imagery. Here, we explicitly propose that the feedback and feedforward iterative operation processes can be interpreted in terms of a homunculus looking at the biophysical picture in our brain during visual imagery. We further propose that the brain can use both picture-like and language-like representation processes. In our interpretation, visualization (imagery) is a special kind of representation i.e., visual imagery requires a peculiar inherent biophysical (picture-like) mechanism. We also conjecture that the evolution of higher levels of complexity made the biophysical picture representation of the external visual world possible by controlled redox and bioluminescent nonlinear (iterative) biochemical reactions in the V1 and V2 areas during visual imagery. Our proposal deals only with the primary level of visual representation (i.e. perceived scene).
The abundant recurrent horizontal and feedback connections in the primate visual cortex are thought to play an important role in bringing global and semantic contextual information to early visual areas during perceptual inference, helping to resolve
Several studies with brain signals suggested that bottom-up and top-down influences are exerted through distinct frequency bands among visual cortical areas. It has been recently shown that theta and gamma rhythms subserve feedforward, whereas the fe
The cerebral cortex is composed of multiple cortical areas that exert a wide variety of brain functions. Although human brain neurons are genetically and areally mosaic, the three-dimensional structural differences between neurons in different brain
The ongoing exponential rise in recording capacity calls for new approaches for analysing and interpreting neural data. Effective dimensionality has emerged as an important property of neural activity across populations of neurons, yet different stud
The ability to store continuous variables in the state of a biological system (e.g. a neural network) is critical for many behaviours. Most models for implementing such a memory manifold require hand-crafted symmetries in the interactions or precise
