Robb,

Good points. Another thing: how would you remember the images after hypnosis, and how does the hypnotist verify that you are actually "seeing" images rather than working from verbal descriptions/memories? As I said, it's all very complicated, especially with regard how empiricism in the philosophy of mind is supposed to work. Once again, I am reminded of Wundt and Brentano who expressed skepticism regarding empirical methods despite the fact that they pursued them. In Wundt's case, he actually invented equipment, which I simulated on my site.

If you pursue the hypnotism angle, let us know. You might ask the hypnotist to employ special techniques.
