systems don't even keep that information in the same format—all sensory
information (touch, temperature, taste, vision, sound, smells) are changed into
electrical and chemical signals in the brain. It's the pattern of these electrical and
chemical signals that we refer to as "objects" in our environments . . .

… I myself think that we humans are souls, immaterial thinking things
causally connected to our bodies in such a way that what we
experience/feel/think/etc. depends on the physical states of our brain and central
nervous systems.

This is a controversial point of view though. Many think that we humans are
material things, big hunks of meat. To your question "Who is the one who sees
the image of this message on the brain?" they would answer, "Why, you do, of
course!" You, this big hunk of meat, have visual experiences when certain
electrical patterns are set up in your brain. Some would say that the visual
experiences just are the electrical patterns. In this view, to have the visual
sensation of green is just to have a certain electrical pattern set up in your brain—
nothing more. Others think that the visual experiences are caused by or perhaps
emerge from the electrical patterns, though they are distinct from them.
