Interesting: your visual cortex gets switched off every time you move your eyes

What's even more interesting is that your eyes never really stop moving. It means that a non-negligible fraction of what we perceive as reality is, in fact, made up (i.e. interpolated) by the brain.
Quoting: Dr. Moran ALL of what you perceive is "made up" in the brain. You don't see the world; you "see" a simulation of the world generated within your visual cortex. You're "seeing" neural signals inside your brain, not light itself. What is the difference between brain circuits making you see something due to eye signals, or due to internal generation of the image? Both processes do the exact same thing in the brain. If your brain was wired to a sufficiently complex computer, it could make you perceive anything at all, perfectly realistically, even though it was all "made up".
