Experience and Simulation Norretranders, The User Illusion, 1998
"In 1987, Varela wrote, "The LGN (lateral geniculate, portion of thalamus) is usually descrbed as a 'relay' station to the cortex. However, at a closer examintaion most of what the neurons in the LGN receive comes not from the retina (less than 20%), but from other centers inside the brain…" And then Maturana, "what we see… is the result of extensive inner processes where data form outside… is linked to inner… models.""
This summary is distorted, because Maturana and Varela refuse to acknowledge that anything comes from outside.
