Reality as a Controlled Hallucination
Neuroscientist Anil Seth and others propose that our perceptions construct our experience of the world, which is essentially a controlled hallucination. Our brains create conscious experiences through interactions with the external world, resulting in an interpretation of space and time that is not completely understood. This challenges the traditional understanding of reality and implies that our conscious experience may not accurately reflect the true nature of the world around us.
