sensation and perception

my weekly post:

on the topic of sensation and perception. The book constantly stated and states that we see, hear, feel, sense with our brains. It showed this will by explaining the fake hand test. when a rubber hand is put in front of you and you cannot see your real hand: when the fake hand is stroked many people will often PERCIEVE that their own hand is being touched.
I am noticing that as sensory information stays the same perception changes from person to person. For ex. today in class we did the hearing test and although there were many i could not hear myself i knew there was a sound being admitted because i was getting a horrid headache. I did not hear anything but i knew there was a sound causing my hair receptors to be stimulated and this constant ringings always have given me headaches as long as i can remember. So therefore i am perciveing the sounds when i don't hear it and it is causing me a feeling of uncomfort.
I am just commenting on how sensory information, sights, sounds, pain are all in your head. If you can find out a way to block or stop the stimulus you won't feel or hear or see really anything. Just something interesting to think about that reality is all up to the beholder. my reality and what i percieve is much much different from yours
