Define sensation and perception. Do we have direct contact with our world, or is the world as we know it filtered through our senses? How does the way that we perceive the world influence our mental processes and behavior? Do you think that what we perceive is actually “out there,” or is it what our brain perceives? In other words, can we be mistaken about what we see?
1) Those with blindsight think they can't see but can react to visual stimuli anyway. Why? they are faking being blind: they can see just fine, just like us the part of the cortex that controls conscious vision is still intact because the part of their visual system that controls visual reflexes is still intact because their eyes work fine and they also don't actually have any brain damage 2) Those with blindsight think they can't see but can react to visual stimuli anyway.

I need help finding a research paper and a news article that evaluates how brain and mind are presented outside the scientific literature. Specifically, you’ll choose an empirical study (2020 or earlier) that was featured in news reports and critically evaluate its presentation there in light of the original research paper. The topic is about visual perception in animals or humans . We already spoke about mantis shrimp so that example is not available however it can be any other animal.
