Uhhhh..what?? "experiments that are 'spatially' vigilant" ???
What, in your language does "experiment" mean?
What, in your language, does "vigilant" mean?
I am interested in studies of "vigilance", but usually (ALWAYS?) these
uuse humans or some other living organisms as subjects. But maybe
"vigilance" means something else in your language.
Maybe it is just a typo? you meant to write "experimenters" who are
vigilant? No, surely not. Surely you were not writing of folks who
DESIGN EXPERIMENTERS! Or am I assuming too much. Maybe you are into
Artificial Intelligence? Maybe (parts of) this passage makes (nominal)
sense in the context of designing ROBOTS with "sensory" interfaces with
the environment and (programmed) vigilance.
If I can't even understand this, what chance do I have with REAL secret
language, such as "superficial configuration stuff" or whatever.
Ummm... Yes, spatial coding cells are not spatial any more than color
coding cells are colored, and all that, but NOTHING spatial except the
whole nervous system? No spatial perception or spatially-oriented
behavior in (e.g.) Christopher Reeves? Or do you mean something like
"the whole supra-brainstem nervous system" ?? It all must be whole or
no "spatial" behavior? Any hole in the whole results in loss of all
"spatial" function? Aphasic patients can't even POINT in the direction
of the thing they want but cannot name??
