The brain has a direct impact on our perception and recognition of our environment, and it can efficiently suppress information and carry out tasks without our awareness of such events and even create complete illusions only possible in a prodigious machine such as the human brain. For example, our brains create color as a result of external light wavelengths in the environment and biological components known as photoreceptors in the retinas of human eyes (Eagleman). In the outside world there is no color, no sound, and no smell. These are all workings of the brain. There is, however, electromagnetic radiation, air compression waves, and aromatic molecules all of which are interpreted by the brain as color, sound, and smell
