From my limited knowledge of the physics of the human Eye.. I got the impression that the
image enters the brain via optic nerve which I always assumed to be an electrical impulse
circuit. But if this were indeed the case, vision interpretation would be purely a psych/brain
function. The question I have is this: Has a human *ever* seen the real world?
Bizarre question, an electrical impulse from a nerve to the brain is NOT true vision but
rather something the brain perceives, interprets as sight. I guess the same could be true
of the other senses as well... hearing, touch, taste, etc are just signals that the brain
interprets. Im no biology expert, but science teaches me these things that my simple brain
has a hard time accepting or fully understanding.
Thanks,
