Sensation vs. Perception: Understanding Reality

Your reality is just a story your brain creates from raw electrical signals. There is a massive

difference between sensation and perception. Sensation is just your body’s hardware acting like a sensor,

picking up light, sound, and touch automatically. It is purely physical. But perception is

the software. It is your brain taking that raw noise and organizing it into something

that actually makes sense based on your past experiences. Sensation sees a red blob,

but perception tells you it is an apple. That is why two people can look at the exact same

thing and see two completely different worlds.
