Lecture 1

1.      The importance of Pictorial Representations for accessing the hidden cognitive processes


A Visual Semiotic Poem:

          The Human Brain is actually
          Many brains
          Not only Left and Right
          But Front and Back
          Top and Bottom
          And really many little brains
          Sometimes acting (binding) as one
*To Cognate*- to think, but many brain processes
are acting without our volitional cognition.

In fact, the great percentage of our mental work
Is non-cognitive, and non-conscious, even unconscious

Accordingly, there are many languages in the brain
Each brain language has its own alphabet
The central thesis of this poem-book will be on the
Alphabet of images in the brain
This alphabet makes up the internal visualization of
Self-image and world reality that we call, ‘us’

From the old religious proverb:”.. To Name It is to Know It, to Posses the Power of It”
From another semiotic proverb: “.. To See It is to Know It, to Possess the Power of It”


(Taken from Images of Mind: The Semiotic Alphabet
