12.1 Normal image processing / Reading |
| To understand reading we have to know how the interaction between our brain-halfs works:
 One side of the brain thinks and sees in wide-angle while the other zooms in on the detail. (see : 0.1 Left and Right Brain: function & interaction)
Researchers have come to see the distinction between the two hemispheres as a subtle one of processing style, with every mental faculty shared across the brain, and each side contributing in a complementary, not exclusive, fashion. A smart brain became one that simultaneously grasped both the foreground and the background of the moment.
- Left hemisphere: Focuses on detail.
- Right hemisphere: Concentrates on the broad, background picture.

| | When it comes to reading: 1. The right eye sees a point (detail) and the left eye sees the relation to a line (global), 2. The right eye sees this line and the left eye sees it's relation to a letter, 3. The right eye sees the letter and the left eye sees the relation to a word, and finaly we read a whole sentence. Our eyes constantly combine detail and global. | | | POINTS & PATTERNS:
A Point is the smallest visual element we can see. To quickly process interconected points, and points that form a shape, our brain has a system that recognises patterns and it also has developed speech to use words to define standarised shapes. | | 
|  |  | A Pattern is build up out of different steps creating a natural flow: point -> line -> letter -> word -> sentence -> text Different parameters help to define the pattern: start point, end point, visual steps, time, path, …
| Step 1 - Pattern: Our brain has to understand the
concept of an element, by seeing its parts, forms, and other details,
so it can cross-over from something abstract into a predefined pattern. | |  | |  | | Step 2 - Letter: We see and learn that joined patterns become to have a meaning, and there is a specific sound connected to that visual pattern. | Step 3 - Word: Combined letters/sounds become to have a global meaning. | |  | |  | | Step 3 - Sentence: A flow of words
from kapital to point, becomes a tool to express
ourselves but stil defined by the patterns of grammar.
| Step 3 - Text: Reading is a linear rythmic process, where
every sentence contains words with letters who have vertical hold-ons, to keep us 'in-line'. See topic: 5.2 Visual Grid and the Origin of Patterns in V1. |
