in the brain's hearing center. The brain is insulated from sound just as it is
from light. Therefore, no matter how noisy it may be outside, it is
completely silent inside the brain.
Nevertheless, the brain perceives sounds most precisely, so that a
healthy person's ear hears everything without any atmospheric noise or
interference. Your brain is insulated from sound, yet you listen to the
symphonies of an orchestra, hear all the noises in a crowded auditorium,
and perceive all sounds within a wide frequency, from the rustling of
leaves to the roar of a jet plane. However, were a sensitive device to
measure the sound level in your brain, it would show complete silence
prevailing there.
Our perception of odor forms in a similar way. Volatile molecules,
emitted by vanilla extract or a rose, reach receptors in the delicate hairs in
the olfactory epithelium and become involved in an interaction that is
transmitted to the brain as electrical signals and perceived as smell.
Everything that you smell, be it pleasant or repugnant, is only your brain's
perception of the interactions of volatile molecules transformed into
electrical signals. The scent of a perfume, a flower, any delicious food, the
sea, or other odors you like or dislike, you perceive entirely in your brain.
The molecules themselves never reach there. Just as with sound and
vision, what reaches your sensory centers is simply an assortment of
electrical signals. In other words, all the sensations that, since you were
born, you've assumed to belong to external objects are just electrical
signals interpreted through your sense organs. You can never have direct
experience of the true nature of a scent in the outside world.
Similarly, at the front of your tongue, there are four different types of
chemical receptors that enables you to perceive the tastes of salty, sweet,
sour, and bitter. After a series of chemical processes, your taste receptors
transform these perceptions into electrical signals and transmit them to the
brain, which perceives these signals as flavors. The taste you get when you
eat chocolate or a fruit that you like is your brain's interpretation of
electrical signals. You can never reach the object outside; you can never
see, smell or taste the chocolate itself. For instance, if the nerves between
your tongue and your brain are cut, no further signals will reach your
brain, and you will lose your sense of taste completely.
Here, we come across another fact: You can never be sure that how a
