Understand Perception: The Brain's Interpretation of Reality

Our perception of the world is not a direct reflection of reality, as our brain interprets sensory inputs as electric signals that create our internal representations. This means we don't see the world as it is but rather as our brain constructs it. Light and energy interactions are converted into meaningful information by our brain, indicating that our senses prioritize utility over accuracy for survival.
