APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Once light hits the retinas at the back of our eyeballs, it’s converted into an electrical signal that then has to travel to the visual processing system at the back of our brains. From there, the signal travels forward through our brains, constructing what we see and creating our perception of it.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is in the primary visual cortex, located in the occipital lobes at the back of the head, that the brain first begins to assemble something that looks like an image to our conscious awareness.

Detailed explanation-3: -The brain can’t tell the difference between the real and the imagined – is a myth. It is intriguing to wonder why perception differs from person to person, how imagination can evoke a creative frenzy or intrusive memories that debilitate those with PTSD.

Detailed explanation-4: -The neuroscience underlying this phenomenon suggests that we – or rather our brains – construct reality for us. This reality is often referred to by neuroscientists as a ‘hallucination’. This hallucination is then made accurate using our senses – mainly our sight and hearing.
