Perception

Eyes and attention

The eyes do not merely receive: they take a direction. That direction changes what is felt, not only what is seen.

Outer gaze and inner gaze

The gaze can be turned outwards, towards an object, or inwards, towards what happens in the body while one is looking. The model works on the conscious move between these two directions.

Attention

Attention can narrow onto a point or widen to the field. Narrowing and widening are neither right nor wrong: they are two modes, and the difficulty arises when only one of them remains available.

The nature of this work

What is set out in this area is an anthropological and experiential model developed by Gaspare Russo. It is not presented as clinically demonstrated neuroscience.

Where relevant scientific studies exist, they are cited as such; where a statement is still hypothetical, the page says so.
