I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made... Psalm 139:14
"Every second awake, signals from our environment of one kind or another
are converted into electrical currents (of ions—called action
potentials) by sensory receptors in the skin or by special senses (like
smell, vision, and hearing).
The original signal is interpreted so that a person sees the world in
vivid color, hears the sound of a waterfall, experiences the heat of a
hot summer’s day, feels a breeze on the skin, and smells on
the barbeque.
And this can happen all at the same time; i.e., really
fast.
Q: How does the brain do this?
A: No one knows, but it must involve
signal processing way beyond our current understanding."
