So after class on Thursday the issue that has made me think is that our nervous system actually makes up the things that we see. I have heard this before, and have even done the blindspot test, but what is interesting to me now is that we have been trying to figure out the things that we do not see, but now it seems that there is an issue of what we do see. If our eyes are constantly working to imagine what is probabaly in or periphery, but it is not really sure, then what do we actually see?

I do not mean to get into the same conversation from Tuesday that Lindsey mentions, but for me there is a new question of reality and what we actually are seeing. I agree that there are such things as hallucinations, although now it seems harder to distinguish a hallucination from a real object. Also, what do we think a blind person would think of this discussion? Would she agree, that every human has scewed vision, or would she be angry that those of us that can "actually see" are sitting around discussion the things we perhaps, hypothetically, maybe cannot see?

Also, why do so many people need glasses?
