Thoughts on Perception

  • When I look at the water bottle I can see a black and blue patch of colour in my visual field which I identify with a water bottle
    • Is this a mental object?
      • What is a mental object?
        • Something that has properties???
        • But properties don't exist
        • Objects only exist in the mind
          • Objects don't even exist in the mind- they only exist in models
        • Reality is both a whole and infinitely complex
  • Apparently we can subconsciously sense pheromones
  • Is hunger perception? Is imagination?
  • Blindsight
  • Colour constancy
