Summarize you perceiving is believing
there are five basic senses used to perceive the world. These are smell, taste, touch, vision and hearing. sensing and perceiving are two different thing. Our senses provide us with raw data from the environment around us while Perception is the process where brain organizes and interprets this raw data. Perception can be influenced by the context in which the stimuli presented, our expectations, belief and our current mood. What you see isn’t always what you get and that is true for all senses. Perceiving isn’t always believing.
Cognitive theories have tended to treat perception and belief
formation as distinct processes. However, recent advances in
neuroscience have concluded that the unusual perceptual experiences
of patients and their beliefs as arising from the same process i.e.
error-dependent updating in a hierarchical Bayesian structure.
Within the framework of this Bayesian model, one can consider both
hallucinations and delusions as emerging owing to disruptions in
the same updating mechanism.
however , percieving is not always believing. Sometimes perception
is independent of belief.
