Abstract
The object of seeing is for the brain to create inner states that accurately model the world and recall it for purposeful use. In this descriptive paper we present virtual neuro-architectures called ‘depictive’ which have been developed to create hypotheses for the mechanisms necessary for such depiction and explain some elements of verbally induced visual working memory. Early work on applications to understanding visual deficits in Parkinsons’ sufferers is included.
