I’ve
mentioned in previous blogs that my sensory preference is auditory, meaning
that what I hear and what I read register in my brain most quickly and
intensely. The visual sensory system, on the other hand, has my lowest score on
the Sensory Preference Assessment (free on my website under Taylor’s
Assessments). Consequently, it usually takes me a while to really “see” things
in a new environment. I’ve found that if I slowly walk around a new environment
for a few minutes, my brain begins to consciously recognize things that I didn’t
“see” initially. I’ve always wondered how giving my brain some “time” made a
difference in what I noticed (compared, for example, to my mother who was
highly visual and seemed to “see” everything quickly and almost simultaneously).
An article published recently in Cerebral
Cortex (open access) has helped me understand how this process
happens in my brain. It reported on research done by Dr. Dirk Jancke of the Institute
for Neural Computation at Ruhr University. More on those findings tomorrow.
