endeavour, no sound has yet been obtained that has the same

you turn on a HI-FI you always hear a hissing sound before
the music starts. However, the sounds that are the products
of the technology of the human body are extremely sharp
and clear. A human ear never perceives a sound
accompanied by a hissing sound or with atmospherics as

does HI-FI; it perceives sound exactly as it is, sharp and clear.
This is the way it has been since the creation of man.
So far, no visual or recording apparatus produced by man

data as are the eye and the ear.
However, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned, a far

To Whom Does the Consciousness that

Sees and Hears Within the Brain Belong?

Who is it that watches an alluring world in its brain,
listens to symphonies and the twittering of birds, and smells
the rose?
The stimulations coming from the eyes, ears, and nose of
a human being travel to the brain as electro-chemical nervous
impulses. In biology, physiology, and biochemistry books,
you can find many details about how this image forms in the
brain. However, you will never come across the most
important fact about this subject: Who is it that perceives
these electro-chemical nervous impulses as images, sounds,
