As we moved toward the last series of discussion, the things are getting more complicated. I really enjoyed our metaphors about brains last week. I think Prianna’s metaphor about the puppet. This metaphor reminds me of several experiments Biological lab. It talks about the perception and the brain. The experiments test the blind points, sensitive of the nerve system by test how close can you feel between two points.

The thing that came up to my mind immediately after biology lab is that don’t trust your feelings because they are so vulnerable to the sight changes during the process from the actual scenario to the mental phase. Later, something more meaningful came up. The structure of body which processes the data we receive every moment from surrounding environment and the subjective interpretation of same phenomenon leads to various observation results. These imperfect observations will result in conclusion which are possible not close to the ultimate fact at all. I don’t seeing is believing still hold if seeing is not accurate.

I have to say that the first word actually is mess. Because I don’t think I will never be able to figure out the whole mechanism behind the mysteries. However, one connection I have already built about brain and our perception is that given same situation our perceptions help our brains draw different conclusion just as given the same topic our stories will be diverged
