How the brain process information to create a representation of the external world? How do we recognize a face, reach an object, or appreciate a piece of art? Those questions go back at least to Aristotle who noted that our minds create images, “internal representations of the external world”. But The process of seeing is far from a reproduction of the images impinging the retina. It is rather the result of our unique interpretation of ambiguous sensory information. Conceptually, how we sense the world and what we consider to be ‘truth’ is something unique and personal. Scientists, philosophers and artists have been dealing with physiological data such as brain waves, skin conductance changes, pupil movement or heart rate variabilities for quite some time.
