our philosphical view that wupposes that one of the primordial fxs of the brain is to acquire knowledge...
and knowledge can only be acquied in a conscious state.
 
Hence the study of consciousness is not some kind of optional extra, but an integral part of the study of the visual brain.
Implicit in this view is an adherence to the doctrines of Schopenhauser and Kant... that all know. is subjective
and that in seeking to understand how the brain acquires know. we must seek to understand what limits it imposes
on acquisition and what formal contributuon it makes.
 
Our genl v iew is that the BRAIN AREAS that PROCESS SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES ARE ALSO SPECIALIZED FOR PERCEIVING THOSE ATTRIBUTES.
ie  a PROCESSING SITE IS ALSO A PERCEPTUAL SITE.</p>
