First-person accounts on cognitive embodiment through left-right reversed vision

First-person accounts (FPA) was suggested by Varela as a method to describe sub- jective perspection of lived experiences. Varela proposed to combine FPA with modern cognitive sciences. We conduct an experiment of left-right reversed vision to examine the effectiveness of FPA for considering the subjective perception of embodied cognition. Embodied cognition means the cognition through self body image, which is aquired by perceptual organization. A subject wearing the left-right reversed glasses is assigned several tasks about coodination of vison, audi- tory perception and proprioception and is requested introspections. By disccussing the results of objective observation of the tasks and the introspective reports, we conclude that body image is reconstructed through conversion of auditory perception into visualized space and relocation of proprioception onto visual representation.
