Abstract

Many of our perceptions are gained through interpretative organs that we assume to be providing objective accounts. Notably, however, neither vision nor hearing provide an objective account of reality. This paper challenges the “conventional wisdoms” held regarding the optic, auditory, and hypoglossal nerves, and the nerves of eye movement.
