Seeing, reality, ambiguity, and the I-function

Welcome to the on-line forum associated with the Biology 202 at Bryn Mawr College. Its a way to keep conversations going between course meetings, and to do so in a way that makes our conversations available to other who may in turn have interesting thoughts to contribute to them. You're welcome to post here any thoughts that have arisen during the course this week (and to respond to thoughts others have posted)

Among the issues that have come up this week is the notion that what we see is a particular view of "reality", dependent on processes we are largely unaware of and always involving the resolution of a inescapable ambiguity in the input we receive.  Among the problems that follow from this is what is the role of the I-function in seeing?  or behavior generally?
