Here's one more example
Which shows just how quickly the brain
Can use new predictions to change
What we consciously experience
Have a listen to this
Sounded strange, right?
Have a listen again
Still strange. Now listen to this
Yeah? So you can now hear words there. Once more for luck

We call that reality
Here's one more example
Which shows just how quickly the brain
Can use new predictions to change
What we consciously experience

In the story I'm going to tell you
Our conscious experiences of the world around us
And of ourselves within it
Are kinds of controlled hallucinations
That happen with, through and because of our living bodies
If hallucination is a kind of uncontrolled perception
Then perception right here and right now
Is also a kind of hallucination
