(Figure 2.1). Vision takes place not in the eye, but in the brain. The eye is merely an
instrument by which electrical signals are sent, similar to how a camera transmits
images to a television screen. But these images are meaningful only if someone is
there to watch them. If there is no viewer to watch, there is little point in compiling
any images on the television screen. The important question here is not the sending
of electrical signals or the assembling of images in the brain; but of who or what
perceives the final image. It cannot be the eye, being merely an instrument. Neither
can it be the brain, which is merely a collection of tissue made up of fats and pro-
teins, and acts like a screen where the electrical impulses are decoded. Both eye and
brain are made of cells, which are themselves made of unconscious molecules. This
begs the question: Who "looks" and "sees" the image in the brain?

out to—over a thousand other neurons. This exchange of information be-
tween neurons with the connections and the ability necessary to process the
information is definitely something that couldn't have come about through a
series of coincidences. These neurons were created with the ability to ex-
change information.
The brain, working like an advanced computer, is actually a collection
of millions of living cells. In one square millimeter on the surface of human
brain, there are over 100,000 nerve cells—adding up to a total of 10 billion
(10,000,000,000) cells in the entire brain. A mere fraction of these cells work
together to analyze signals from the eye.
