Hello folks,
Just wanted to share a quick thought/question with you.
If I schematize quickly how sound gets processed by the brain:
- soundwaves make the eardrum move ;
- the eardrum moves turn into electrical signals ;
- the electric signals get processed by the brain.
Yet, as you read the lines of this post, or when you think out loud with opening your mouth you can hear your own voice.
My question is: how does the brain = mind paradigm explain this? how can the bain be the source of the stimulae and the processor of it?
Whether it is sight or hearing, it's all coming from the outside. Yet you can still have the phenomenon that I just describe above.
Same can be applied to dreams. How can we see/visualize/hear something when our eyes arent opened?
One of the first thing I learned in biology class is that we respond to external stimulae. The question here is how can be the source and the process of the stimulae both at the same time?
