It's thought that about 96% of us have visual imagery, and there's a very tiny minority in the population, some of whom are normal, some of whom have brain lesions, who cannot produce visual imagery.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A visual image is a simple thing, a picture that enters the eyes.
Most of us who have healthy eyesight are extremely attached to our vision, often without being conscious that we are. We depend heavily on our eyes, and yet we rarely give them a second thought. I, at least, am this way. The physical world is almost hyper-vivid to me.
Everything for me is visual. That's just how my head works.
Very few minds are strictly normal, and all religious fanatics are marked with abnormalities of various sorts.
Color is just in a small area of our vision, and the rest we add with the mind.
We cannot afford to exclude any vision - any way of looking at the world - that human beings have invented for ourselves.
We share a huge visual memory bank, mostly through painting and other images in history. I think when a modern photograph taps into those, sometimes very subliminally, it makes people respond.
In all our perceptions, from vision to hearing, to the pictures we build of people's character, our unconscious mind starts from whatever objective data is available to us - usually spotty - and helps to shape and construct the more complete picture we consciously perceive.
I'm a visual thinker. Research tells us that only 20 per cent of people think visually. So what about the other 80 per cent? Don't they think in pictures? I mean if you imagine washing and preparing potatoes you visualise the process, right?
It has been said that 80% of what people learn is visual.
