overview
Bill Newbold Right, I didn't like having to sign in to write a comment. Somehow I found a way. I have schizophrenia, - onset age, 21. At twenty one I started organizing and positioning clips from magazines and papers on my walls visually. This is similar with some schizophrenics, exactly, I have schizoaffective depressed. This visual process was made public in it's ritual form by Graham Nash in the movie "A beautiful Mind." I was 21 in 1984 going to Rutgers at Livingston during my onset which is when my paper picture and article writings placement and organizing on my home walls was the greatest. This is something that I think relates to the effects of schizophrenia. I have been doing this process to my walls since 1984 no matter where I have lived, or what institution I was in. I understand this process well. Somehow the cognitive stress of schizophrenia is relieved from doing this. It is helpful helpful to me and my eye movement and control, I know this. I do this now, with music as well but that is different in a way. There is new research based on the paper above in relation to this process that I can help with. I think the fact that people born blind don't get schizophrenia as their brain is able to rework the cognitive maps to use the extra "processing" space or thinking area once used for vision.
Thank You for your research in this.
Forgive the lack of scientific jargon in my comment, college did not go well simultaneously with the onset of the Schizoaffective disorder. As such the research into these ideas could end here.
