Extract from "What the bleep do we know?"
Scientific experiments have shown that if we take a person and hook their brains up to certain PET scans or computer technology and ask them to look at a certain object and they watch, certain areas of the brain light up.And then they've asked them to close their eyes and now imagine that same object. And when they imagine that same object it produced the same areas of the brain to light up as if they were actually visually looking at it.So it caused scientists to back up and ask this question.So who sees then? Does the brain see? Or do the eyes see?And what is reality? Is reality what we're seeing with our brain or is reality what we're seeing with our eyes?And the truth is that the brain does not know the difference between what it sees in its environment and what it remembers because the same specific neural nets are then firing. So then it asks the question: What is reality?
