IS IT REAL OR IMAGINED? HERE’S HOW YOUR BRAIN TELLS THE DIFFERENCE / Quanta
In a thought-provoking study, researchers delve into the intricate workings of the brain, particularly its ability to discern between reality and imagination. Despite brain scans indicating strikingly similar patterns of activity when we observe something and when we conjure it in our minds, our subjective experiences of these events differ significantly. The study introduces the concept of a "reality threshold," suggesting that the brain employs this mechanism to differentiate between the two. When a mental image surpasses this threshold, our brain interprets it as real. These findings pose intriguing questions about hallucinations, dreams, and the complex variations in human perception, shedding new light on how our minds navigate the often-blurred boundary between reality and imagination.
