Abstract

Visual pattern recognition [1] and visual thought [2] have been the subject of intense research over the last half century. While we now have some understanding of the mechanisms of visual pattern recognition at the neural level [3,4], the mental processes underlying our ability to classify [5], synthesize [6], perceive [7] and remember [8] images still evades us.
