Document Summary
It is the physical and sociocultural environments surrounding you, which continually create and reinforce patterns in your brain. And within the brain, you arise because of the interconnectedness of many functioning subsystems. Just think of the profound changes that happen when you knock out a specific system. Blindsight: you will have hole in vision field if someone takes out that specific system (eg. central system- wont see centre- will see a hole) Damage to brain cant see certain things, other parts of the brain can see it though (you process movement at higher level than basic physical location) You can still see things that you cant physically see. Guessing shapes on a screen (accurate most of time) Eg. anton-babinski syndrome: full cortical blindness but conscious denial of it and insistence that one can see normally. Draw an apple will be able to draw (asking to produce image from memory)
