Biocybernetic Factors in Human Perception and Memory

Abstract

The goal of this research project is to develop biocybernetic concepts and techniques useful for the analysis and development of skills needed for the enhancement of concrete images of the 'eidetic' type. The authors treat scanpaths of the eye during observation of visual patterns as indicators of the brain's strategy for the intake of visual information. The authors attempt to determine the features that differentiate visual scanpaths associated with superior imagery from scanpaths associated with inferior imagery, and simultaneously, to differentiate the electroencephalographic features correlated with superior imagery from those correlated with inferior imagery. Incorporating this information, a closely-coupled man-machine system to generate image enhancement and to train the individual to exert greater voluntary control over his own imagery will be designed and implemented.
