| 總結: | The predominance of visual content in dreams raises a fundamental issue in the formation of
images and for the construction of ideas based on the activity of the visual cortex in people
with visual impairments. The central question for students of the visual system and for dream
connoisseurs is: to what extent the absence or loss of vision will affect the sensory sensitivity for
dream construction. Sensory modalities other than vision (tactile and auditory) can influence the
functional development of the occipitotemporal visual system in the absence of visual stimulation
early in life. What I mean is that blind individuals have significantly less visual capacity, but they
also have an increase in the number of auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory sound impressions. |
