From the School of Computer Science and Department of Psychology at McGill University, I marvel at the world through algorithmic lenses. My specific interests are in quantum computing, evolutionary game theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, and theoretical cognitive science. Previously I was at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo and a visitor to the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore.

Why would the brain flip the images perceived by your eyes? After rereading your question again and the discussion on my answer, I realized that I was hasty with my downvote and will remove it. However, I still think there is some way to make the question more clear so that confused people like me don't get more confused on the first reading :P. |

Why would the brain flip the images perceived by your eyes? @SteveJeuris I wouldn't make that the title, since it seems misleading. I would make the title something like "does it make sense to say the brain flips the image during processing?"... then your initial intuition will be more clear, at least to me. |

Why would the brain flip the images perceived by your eyes? @StevenJeuris ahh, I see what you mean. My bad on misinterpreting your intuition. Let me know if my answer needs to be further clarified. |

Why would the brain flip the images perceived by your eyes? @StevenJeuris I don't understand how this is a conversation stopper. It basically says what my answer says... it is not meaningful to even ASK if your brain is flipping something. It represents things neither right-side up nor upside-down... it represents them as a series of neural activation that have no orientation. It is only through the coupling to your motor-system that any effect can be observed. |

Why would the brain flip the images perceived by your eyes? how would you ever hope to tell apart if the brain flips the image or works with it upside down? It is obvious that the projection on your retina is upside down... but there is functionally no difference between 'right'-side up and 'upside'-down in processing... except for your subjective experience. |

What is an effective metric of complexity for an Artificial Neural Network? I asked a follow up question on ML.SE about alternatives to VC-dimension used in machine learning. |

What are the major changes in the APA Publication Manual from 5th to 6th editions? I am still skeptical about this question, does anyone (except students learning for the first time) actually check their papers for APA style? I just have LaTeX (or Word) auto-format it for me according to the journal's style-sheet. |

Defining shyness towards strangers in confrontational situations improved formatting; also, you do not need to include comments like "I edited" in the question, we can all look at the edit history |

Defining shyness towards strangers in confrontational situations I don't think this answers the question. The question asks for the name of this phenomena and if it has been studied. An answer should provide a name and reference to literature not attempts at diagnoses, 'alleviating', or guessing the source of the phenomena in a particular individual. This is not a self-help site. |
