Why do you say “sensory” perception? Do you just mean that we think about our brain processes, or something else?

- galaxyLogic 6y agoThat's a good question. Somehow we perceive our thoughts. We perceive whether they are in English or in German. We perceive the likeness of what our ears would perceive if we spoke those thoughts out. Now what kind of sensor-mechanism could there be that would perceive those non-spoken thoughts? Well it can simply be perception of "brain-waves". The (original) stimuli for perception need not come from the outside only. When the light enters the eye it immediately becomes brain-signal. Same with our ears etc. So what we "perceive" is really brain-signals all the way. Therefore it does not sound mysterious to me how we could be able to "perceive thoughts", and it appears we can, we can "hear our thoughts".
