Is not the same as the experience of the sense receptors, not all info is processed as important. How physical energy is transformed into neural impulses. How we trigger the brain to acknowledge it. Ex is how light is transformed into sight by the brain. Light travels in a very straight line, wavelength go throw the lenses and pupil and refracted to created a picture. Iris is the color of the eye and the muscle that allows more or less light to come in. Whole world is upside down in the eye, therefore we do not see world upside down. Rods and cones make good vision, the image is in the correct spot so seeing is less work on the eye.
