CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL
Someone looking through a win-
dow is actually seeing images
of the landscape that form in
his brain, rather than the
outside world itself.
LIGHT
ELECTRICAL
SIGNAL
Light reaching the
eyes is trans-
AN IMAGE OF A LAND- formed into elec-
SCAPE FORMED BY trical signals by
ELECTRICAL SIGNALS the optical cells
and transmitted to
the visual center at
the rear of the
brain. The "con-
sciousness" in our
brains perceives these
electrical signals as
the landscape.
