Brain tricks

[Anonymous No.14544404]

All sensory data is generated in and known by the brain. How does it create the fake distorted experience of certain events?

Here is an example. You stub your toe. This causes nerves to send a signal to the brain which causes a sensation of pain. But the brain uses illusion to project the sense of pain downwards from itself and where the pain is known, to feel as if it is literally happening in your toe.

Another example. Your entire visual field is generated by your brain. It tricks you into being unable to grasp that your body and the image around it is one image... Similarly, the sense of touch is given an illusory sense of space in general (like the stubbed toe) so that we feel confined within our body, within an image that is entirely its own construction.

And then you consider why it's even doing it. The brain receives a signal that something happened to the toe, so it simulates a pain sensation at the toe, to tell itself that the toe is hurting, which it already knew since it's the place where the feeling is being generated in the first place. What is this bullshit
