Abstract
Certain aspects of the J. Gonzalo’s research on inverted vision and intersensorial summation (facilitation or reinforcement) in patients with brain damage, are formulated and interpreted from a macroscopic time-dispersive model of cerebral dynamics. We suggest that cerebral excitation from intersensorial summation is essentially nonlinear with stimuli.
