Comparing tinnitus to a broken leg in the world of perception seems kind of irrelevant in this regards, as well as it makes no sense (drivel). How would a broken leg have to do with relevant patterns or conditions happen to each and every one of us 24/7?
It's not like broken legs ARE SOMETHING THAT HAPPEN ON A RECOGNITION BASIS OF 24/7 TO EACH OF US like sound is coming at us in our lifes 24/7 and the action of recognition that takes place in our brains of sound recognition of which are brains are interpreting 24 hours a day non stop. Why would you cut off the part that indicated the response was about tinnitus? >What about the truth is , whatever those who have it(or have > >something), it still comes down to a perception. > [email protected] wrote: > > The tinnitus > > thing, is pertinent to those who suffer from it.

Recognition and interpretation of sensory stimuli based chiefly on memory. Recognition means the experience is familiar. the perception in question is the end result of prior exposure to certain relevant patterns or conditions, a kind of learning process. For those who have never seen a shape (OR SOUND) before, it will be perceived but not recognized or identified. perception. (i) It gives us knowledge of the world around us. (ii) We are conscious of that world by being aware of ‘sensible qualities’: colours, sounds, tastes, smells, felt warmth, and the shapes and positions of objects in the environment. (iii) Such consciousness is effected through highly complex information channels, such as the output of the three different types of colour-sensitive cells in the eye, or the channels in the ear for interpreting pulses of air pressure as frequencies of sound. (iv) There ensues even more complex neuro-physiological coding of that information, and eventually higher- order brain functions bring it about that we interpret the information so received. (Much of this complexity has been revealed by the difficulties of writing programs enabling computers to recognize quite simple aspects of the visual scene.) Those subjective experiences of objects or events that ordinarily result from stimulation of the receptor organs of the body. This stimulation is transformed or encoded into neural activity (by specialized receptor mechanisms) and is relayed to more central regions of the nervous system where further neural processing occurs. For those who have never seen a shape (OR SOUND) before, it will be perceived but not recognized or identified. For those who have, it will be perceived as a certain familiar shape and also identified. Recognition and identification obviously must be based on past experience, which means that through certain unknown processes, memory contributes to the immediate experience that one has, giving the qualities of familiarity and meaning. A further fact about form perception is that it is dependent upon orientation. It is a commonplace observation that printed or written words are difficult to read when inverted, and faces look very odd or become unrecognizable when upside down. Simple figures also look different when their orientation is changed: a square looks like a diamond when tilted by 45°. We may describe the organs of the senses as ‘transducers’, which accept patterns of energy from the external world, signalling them as coded messages to be read by the brain, which uses these patterns to infer the state-of-play of the surrounding world, and something of the body's own states. Another useful engineering concept is that of ‘channels’. The various senses feed specialized ‘brain modules’ through neural channels Colour vision is created from information about the wavelength of light transmitted through three channels, red, green, and blue, responding to light of long, medium, and short wavelength, respectively. All the hundreds of colours we can see are interpretations by the brain of the relative activity of these three colour channels. The three colour channels correspond, initially, to three kinds of light-catching photopigment in the photoreceptors, called cones, in the retina. the channels in the ear for interpreting pulses of air pressure as frequencies of sound. ------------------------ "Yep, just like people with a broken leg" is the drivel.
