Brains, Brains

    Well, last week's discussion actually made me, errr, confused. 

    (Now I'm having a terrible sore throat I wish that my brain can do something to help distracting me from paying attention to my poor throat = =|||...)

    I like what the brains do with all those interesting pictures. I feel that we are seeing another world from a flat plane. I don't think that the brains are "cheating" or "lying" to us. The way our brains behave actually give us creativity! How can you make things if you can't even see it? I guess the brains let us picture all sorts of things in our minds so that we can create all the fantastic inventions that weren't existed before. However, I'm still confused about how brains gained this kind of ability. It is amazing though, to think about how brain can do so many incredible things while they are just made of cells. Also, I got really disappointed and somehow desperate in class on Thursday because I really wanted to know what the "truth" really is. Especially with the rock. How I wished the rock could be in the classroom at that time so that I can touch it and see if it's a hollow or a bulge. So, now I'm confused. I like what the brain do to us but I can't help with my curiosity!
