Echo Objects by Barbara Maria Stafford
Argues that humanists should seize upon the exciting neuroscientific discoveries that are illuminating the underpinnings of cultural objects. This work presents a broad exploration of how complex images - or patterns that compress space and time - make visible the invisible ordering of human consciousness.
"Heroic... The larger message of Stafford's intense, propulsive prose is unassailable. If we are to get much further in the great puzzle of 'binding' - how the perception of an image, the will to act on intention, or the forging of consciousness is assembled from the tens of thousands of neurons firing at any one moment in time - then there needs to be action on all fronts." - Science"
