Zusammenfassung: | 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. |
