Biocybernetic Factors in Human Perception and Memory

Abstract

The project is concerned with the application of biocybernetic concepts to the problems of expanding human memory. The goal of the research is the enhancement of visual imagery as far as possible in the direction of photographic memory. Scanpaths of the eye during inspection of visual targets are treated as indicators of the brain's strategy for the intake of visual information. The features correlated with superior imagery are differentiated from those correlated with inferior imagery. A computerized biocybernetic scheme will attempt to generate image enhancement and to train the individual to exert greater voluntary control over his own imagery.
