Debate Is what we see exactly what others see?

I've had this theory cooking in my brain for a while. I'm glad I'm not the only one =)

I think it could be true, because all of our brains are wired differently. We could never know and confirm this unless we hopped inside someone elses brain, but it is possible. Since everyones brain works differently, I wouldnt be surprised if we all interpreted colors differently.

Same thing could be said about sound. Who'se to say we percieve sound in the same way? Who said that the word "delectable" in someone elses head doesnt sound like gibberish to us?

Mmmm...Now you have me thinking.

 

i dont know if this is exactly what you guys are talking about, but... i have a friend of mine who is in 7th grade. it wasnt until this year that he found out he is partly color blind. for example the colors pink and light blue look very similar to him. however, he just figured thats how everyone saw it. another really good example of people seeing different things is the disease synesthesia. i dont quite get what the disease is but heres a pretty good explanation: Synesthesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Basicly people who who have this "disease" see words as colors and days and month are personified, gaining personalities. my teacher told me about a girl she once had in her class who had a mild form of this disease, and did not know it until they read the book mango shaped space, which is about somebody with this disease. the girl in the class just assumed that everyone saw the way she did. well enough of my rambling, i hope i helped.

 

We all see the same colours. Colour is directly relative to energy and as energy is defined and constant, colour is defined and constant as it accompanies energy. All matter in our eyes are the same and light is not an interpretation of our brains but a constant and defined signal from energy. Only in situations where the colours are similar that our brain can influence what we see, but thats only from lack of received colours.
EX: I see yellow, you see orange. baybe im not seeing the red in the yellow as much as you are.

PS I didnt read all that much of this thread, i dont have much time. Im just answering the ops question

 

Okay...

I still wonder things like this. I'm also curious as to how we knoe that some animals (most notably dogs) can only see in black & white. How did they find that out?
