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…
