Homunculus

Anna Maria Zieglerin was a sixteenth century female alchemist. Alchemy, a science of the Middle Ages, was used with the goal being to turn normal metals into gold. Anna Maria was tried, and found guilty, of murder of a courier, attempted poisoning of a Duchess, and the intent to steal papers from a Duke’s chamber. She was burned alive for her crimes at the age of 25 on February 7, 1575. Most of what we know about Zieglerin and her early life comes from court documents during her trial in 1575. Her birth was an unusual one. She was born prematurely and because of that, wrapped in the skin from a women’s body that had been rubbed with balsam. She stayed like this for two weeks until her body had fully matured (2). She spent her childhood in the Dresden Court of Augustus, Elector of Saxony because her parents came from minor nobility. Zieglerin also had princes and other nobles as her godparents (3). At fourteen years old, Zieglerin’s mother tried to marry her off to Nikolaus von Hamdorff. However, he became angry when she rejected him and in turn he raped her and she became pregnant. She brought the baby to full term and after birth she wrapped the child in a linen cloth and threw it into the water (5).

This marriage was short lived and lasted only nine weeks because her husband died in an accident involving horse riding (6). Her brother then forced her into an unhappy marriage with…

The homunculus in the motor system figure is correct in both pathways due its somatosensory nature. There is evidence though that while this map technically is correct in broad terms, the M1 somatotopic map is much more complex and non-linear then this.

accompanied by images, or sensations, it is wrong to say sensations are perceived. Arguments against indirect realism Indirect realists cannot assume that the objects they perceive are actually occurring. The indirect realist view suggests that the world we perceive is only a pattern of energy in the brain (Lehar, 2000). The external world and its representation cannot be spatially superimposed, as one is inside your physical head, and the other is outside. A problem with representationalism…
