There is relationship between sight and touch, something about eyes being able to see through the fingers touching the clay, about fingers being able to feel what the eyes are seeing without the fingers actually touching it.
I can explain how a person with autism thinks. I am very, very interested in how people think. It's been a gradual process of learning more and more about how my thinking process is different. You know it's bottom up - you take specific examples to make concepts and then I put them in categories.
When the body is in pain, a distorted area of awareness is crying out to the rest of awareness for help.
The human body is amazing," she said. If you deprive it of one sensory input, the other senses take over, almost instantly.
The senses are a kind of reason. Taste, touch and smell, hearing and seeing, are not merely a means to sensation, enjoyable or otherwise, but they are also a means to knowledge - and are, indeed, your only actual means to knowledge.
The thing you realize when you get into studying neuroscience, even a little bit, is that everything is connected to everything else. So it's as if the brain is trying to use everything at its disposal - what it is seeing, what it is hearing, what is the temperature, past experience.
Mom worked with autistic children.
The way it works for me is my sight and sound senses are combined. Every sound I associate with a color and every color I associate with a sound...

See with your ears and hear with your eyes.
You wish to see; listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.
I can hear you and I can watch your mouth move, and then I put together the sounds and the visual image, and I can understand the words as I integrate the two signals.
One of the more distant concerns is with the visual interpretation of the music. I find it fascinating but I don't always particularly get involved with it.
I started connecting things to my body during my childhood. I approached the computer as a mediating element, as a form of visual art.
There's so many things about Babymetal you cannot just grasp with the sound. The visual has to compliment the sound, the costumes have to compliment the sound.
The visuals are equally as important as the music. It's all a complete experience.
Use all of your senses.
The baby, assailed by eyes, ears, nose, skin, and entrails at once, feels it all as one great blooming, buzzing confusion.
Even in the lives of fishes, sensation is seldom a matter of one thing or another. Senses overlap. The lines between them often tend to be blurred, and the best that we can manage, by way of description from the outside, is to say that the senses of fishes appear to dominate one at a time.
The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.
The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.
When I was 4 years old my mother put me into an early music education school. That's where they taught you perfect pitch and harmony and how to write music and all that. At that time, one of the homeworks was to listen to all the sounds and the noise of a day and transfer that into musical notes.
