THE FUSE

For most people, the world around them appears certain and obvious beyond any doubt. We have sensory receptors that perceive information from the external world. However, the brain's perception of reality is not as simple as we think. The objects and events we face daily, even though they appear very real to us, might not be real at all. This time, not only philosophers but also neuroscientists are in consensus on this complexity. Modern neuroscience suggests that the brain uses sensory signals to make predictions about external information that favor our survival rather than fitting with reality. We can give many examples of errors in visual, auditory, and other sensory systems.
