Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality…

Anil Seth, during a TED Talk, revealed how he experienced what is commonly known as a near death experience. With this event serving as a catalyst to his quest for understanding, we follow Mr. Seth as he discussed the physical and chemical makeup of the brain and how all these systems act in concert to create what we perceive to be reality.

Our consciousness is a reality that we generate based from our senses. Many electrons in the brain transmit signals back and forth to experience what we consider our “reality”. Reality is only what we perceive it to be based on hallucinations created by the brain. These hallucinations depict imagery and physical presence.

Our brain receives electrical signals and based on those signals creates the color yellow for example. Our brain is fooled by its own senses when an signal is similar to what is normal but actually differs much like optical illusions do for us.

Key Takeaways:

Interception is critically important for the regulation of the internal state of the body.
Experience of the body from inside are very different.
Perception right here and right now is also a kind of hallucination.

“When we agree about our hallucinations, we call it our reality.”
