I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'
The eye, the window of the soul, is the chief means whereby the understanding can most fully and abundantly appreciate the infinite works of Nature; and the ear is second.
For the weaknesses I have with spelling and all those other things with being dyslexic, I have a lot of other strengths also.
I think seeing happens partly through the eyes, but not entirely.
I've got dyslexia. When I was in school, it wasn't really recognized as much as it is today; I'm really glad that people are a lot more aware of it now.
Photography has definitely been my favorite way to remember things. At least for me that’s how my brain processes things, of memories or moments - if I take a picture of it I can remember so many more details. I think it’s about choosing the exact picture in my head that signifies or symbolizes a moment - almost as if you’re using film. It’s almost archaic.
Seeing consists of the grasping of structural features rather than the indiscriminate recording of detail.
People think that they see, but they don't.
I still have a struggle reading (dyslexia, fh) and so I don't read much.. ..Probably the only reason I'm painter is because I couldn't read yet I love to write, but when I write I know what I'm writing, but when I'm reading I can't see it, because it goes from all sides of the page at once. But that's very good for printmaking.
I'm very interested in how we read things, especially the link between seeing two-dimensional and three-dimensional images, because of how I read.
The brain "fills in" the missing information from the blind spot. Notice what you see in the location of the dot when it's in your blind spot. When the dot disappears, you do not perceive a hole of whiteness or blackness in its place; instead your brain invents a patch of the background pattern. Your brain, with no information from that particular spot in visual space, fills in with the patterns around it. You're not perceiving what's out there. You're perceiving whatever your brain tells you.
It has been said that 80% of what people learn is visual.
Indeed, the line between perceiving and hallucinating is not as crisp as we like to think. In a sense, when we look at the world, we are hallucinating all the time. One could almost regard perception as the act of choosing the one hallucination that best fits the incoming data.
Modern research has shown that your eye-brain system is thousands of times more complex and powerful than had previously been estimated, and that with proper training you can quickly reap the benefits of this enormous potential.
Sight is what you see with your eyes, vision is what you see with your mind.
People do not read first. First and foremost, they see color. Then they see numbers, then shape, and then, if you still have their attention and they understand what you put in front of them, then they will read.
Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet.
The eye doesn't see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors.
One thing about mildly dyslexic people - they're good at setting everything else aside to pursue one goal.
Because vision appears so effortless, we are like fish challenged to understand water.
What we see, we see and seeing is changing
Replacing human vision is more than just a tool: we need to understand how that affects the brain.
I'm happy to provide that service. But that's the power of it. A good infographic that's been really worked on looks simple and easy, but it actually required a lot of processing.
We colour and mould according to the wants within us whatever our eyes bring in.
I have always had a predominantly visual approach to my environment.
