Quote by Ray Kurzweil

Hoewel we de illusie hebben dat we beelden met hoge resolutie ontvangen van onze ogen, stuurt de oogzenuw slechts contouren en aanwijzingen over interessante punten in ons blikveld naar het brein. We 'hallucineren' eigenlijk de wereld vanuit ons corticale geheugen.

Summary

Deze quote legt uit dat onze perceptie van de wereld niet gebaseerd is op de werkelijke beelden die onze ogen ontvangen. Hoewel we denken dat we gedetailleerde beelden waarnemen, verzendt de oogzenuw alleen basisinformatie naar ons brein, zoals contouren en belangrijke punten in ons gezichtsveld. Daarom construeren we eigenlijk zelf de wereld door middel van onze corticale (hersenschors) geheugen. Onze hersenen vullen de ontbrekende details in en creÃ«ren als het ware een visuele 'hallucinatie' van de werkelijkheid op basis van herinneringen en aannames.
