The World of Senses Can Occur Without Outside
World's Existence
One factor which reveals that everything we see and experience
exists in our brain and that we can never know the original of the matter
that exists outside is that we do not need an outside world for senses to
occur in the brain. Many technological developments such as simulators
and also dreams are the most important evidences of this truth.
Science writer, Rita Carter, states in her book,
Mapping the Mind, that "there's no need for eyes to
see" and describes at length an experiment carried
out by scientists. In the experiment, blind patients
were fitted with a device that transformed video
pictures into vibrating pulses. A camera mounted
next to the subjects' eyes spread the pulses over their
backs so they had continuous sensory input from the
visual world. The patients started to behave as if
they could really see, after a while. For example,
there was a zoom lens in one of the devices so as to
move closer the image. When the zoom is operated The findings of modern
physics show that the

"The world of senses" that we experience in dreams
A person can experience all senses vividly without the presence of
the outside world. The most obvious example of this is dreams. A person
lies on his bed with closed eyes while dreaming. However, in spite of this,
that person senses many things which he or she experiences in real life,
and experiences them so realistically that the dreams are indistinguishable
from the real life experience. Everyone who reads this book will often bear
