Mind: according to the cell theory















Mind was likened to a series of rooms, or cells. Located in the foremost chamber was "the common sense," where sense data collected after transmission from the five senses. "Fantasia and imagination," occurred in the second cell; there, images were projected onto its walls. The next chamber was reserved for reasoned thinking; here data was processed to determine its rationality, its validity. The anterior chamber room was the site of memory.
