These may be either remembered
images or images of objects currently being sensed. By image, I do
not mean merely two dimensional visual images such as those
projected on the retina. Included are auditory images and three
dimensional images of objects. The auditory images of speech are
transformed by filters characteristic of the hearer's understanding
of the language. The images of three dimensional objects involve
vision, touch and also experience with the particular kind of
object.
Much more can be said about images, but it is inessential for this
review, except to make the point that the actual details are
important in understanding consciousness.
