We See Through the Eye

August 22nd 2007 13:19
We see through the eye, not with it. It's a saying that I've heard a few times and kind of just palmed it off. Except for a few days ago, when it suddenly jumped out and kicked somewhere between the legs.

It suddenly and perfectly seemed to me that all I am seeing before me now (being a computer screen, a keyboard the office etc) is not an image that is displayed on the surface of an eye, but is a collection of lightwaves that have passed through an amazingly high precision network of optics and hasbeen delivered straight into my brain where it is pasted onto my concious mind. Pretty cool to think about.


But it doesn't stop there......

The way that my brain works also effects the way that I both percieve and react to what I see. It is easy to remember when we have THOUGHT that we have seen something. Our eyes see a familiar pattern and our brain puts the rest together. Alot of the time, it makes assumptions and we see something that wasn't there but was quite similar. We double take and see not what we thought we saw, but what we see now.

Worth thinking about, I thought.

There's a lot of truth in that statement, and not just in the literal sense of "seeing" something....

Hey Winston,

glad you liked it and glad to see you again.

Funnily enough, our brains tend to follow the same pattern, even without our eyes....
