Letter: Spiral processing

Published 31 July 1999

From Patricia Zura

Regarding Gereon Fink and John Marshall’s inconsistent findings on the
lateralisation of visual processing
(“Left brain Right brain”, 3 July, p 26), I
have a suggestion. Perhaps they could run their tests with some of the
spectacular navons—images made up of a smaller images repeated many
times— constructed during the 1960s.

Psychedelic art contains many layers of local versus global symbolism.
Watching the brain sort them out could be quite amusing and informative.
