She finds the sound of every movement is different. The sound of every environment is different, as well as people, objects and things of nature. She uses these sounds, along with other people’s verbal descriptions, to build up a vast store of memories and mental images. This way, she is able to simultaneously experience and document her life and engage with the unseen world around her.

Fiona Macpherson's research concerns the nature of consciousness, perception and perceptual experience, introspection, imagination and the metaphysics of mind.
