Seeing and imagining are handled by the same brain cells https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2026/05/12/seeing-and-imagining-are-handled-by-the-same-brain-cells/
"Researchers make advances in understanding how human brains are wired by pinning down how the same neurons are used for both imagining and seeing objects."
"Generative models are one of the most fundamental ways of thinking about how the brain is organized."

The vOICe visual-to-auditory sensory substitution aims to capitalize on this in creating a noninvasive vision BCI for the blind https://www.artificialvision.com/neuralink.htm

"While imagining the objects, around 40% of the visually responsive VTC neurons were also robustly activated." #neuroscience
