Anil Seth : Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality

Anil Seth·TED2017
Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality
Summary 

Billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience that includes tasting, seeing, smelling, hearing, and touching. You, for example, smelled something in reality, though, it couldn’t be touched by you, though, it’s reality.  Hallucinations mean delusions, illusions, and figments of the imagination. We’re all hallucinating all the time and stopping to think that reality is physical that is easy to understand. The brain doesn’t hear a sound or see light. What we perceive is its best guess of what’s out there in the world. To agree about hallucinations and we call it “reality”.
