In fact, quite the opposite is true. Our brain hallucinates our reality into being. It uses past experiences and sensory data to make a series of predictions about the outside world. Through this process, it generates the world. The world we experience comes as much, if not more, from the inside out as from the outside in. ~ Anil Seth, Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, United Kingdom [SNIP] http://www.wakingtimes.com/2017/10/23/leading-neuroscientist-explains-brain-hallucinates-reality/ <http://www.wakingtimes.com/2017/10/23/leading-neuroscientist-explains-brain-hallucinates-reality/> <http:///>-- Geoff.Goodfellow () iconia com <mailto:Geoff.Goodfellow () iconia com> living as The Truth is True http://geoff.livejournal.com <http://geoff.livejournal.com/> This message was sent to the list address and trashed, but can be found online. <https://www.listbox.com/login/messages/view/20171025163146:8324750E-B9C3-11E7-9487-F7452B487850/>
