Introduces the idea of sense perception, demonstrating that the human brain is the interpreter for sensory reception. Dr. Irwin A. Moon illustrates in an experiment that after wearing a pair of inverted spectacles for two weeks the brain reorganizes vision and objects are seen right side up, and that when the spectacles are removed, the vision is inverted and the brain reorganizes.
