...panels, the canvas is filled like the sea, with varying washes of aqua and occupied with skeletal and archaic linear motifs of ships that are often obscured by explosions of saturated and fiery color. The exploding forms that litter these canvases surge with textured layers of gold, yellow, orange, magenta, crimson and deep purple that seem to leak and drip like rivulets of blood trickling down the painting’s surface.

...where Marie sees a flash and that image's actual location in space, which means that the flashes transmitted to Marie's optic nerve correlate with the outside world. Veraart has also discovered that different electrical pulses lead to different perceptions. One type of pulse might always produce a yellow image, for example, while another might always produce red. If this turns out to be the case, Veraart and his team intend to compile a lexicon of correspondences so that specific visual stimuli can be easily reproduced.
