In this chapter i really found it interesting how we convert energy and light into actual things! Its not that we take in an object, we take in the light surrounding it, the hue that color is, the brightness, the intensity, everything! All of it working together to simply form what we see everyday. I believe alot of us take that simple work of art for granted everyday that our eyes function properly to send the signals to the brain to paint a picture in our head. It really is magnificant.
It was also really cool to find how all of our senses work together to do their job. The one that stood out to me most was taste. Taste only has the 5 components but without the other senses such as smell for example we wouldnt be able to distinguish those tastes. The sensory interaction playing its part. Now i understand why my parents told me to hold my nose if i had to eat something i didnt like! you really have no sense of taste without the smell that goes with it. Just another example of how our system was perfectly created to work with itself to perform all the everyday tasks that we over look. Very interesting stuff!
