Is reality real? These neuroscientists don't think so

10. Seems obvious to me.

We know we only sense a small sliver of reality. Some animals sense light and sounds that humans can't.
There is nothing inherently 'red' about light with a wavelength of 700nm. It's just one of a continuum of wave lengths that includes radio waves which have no color assigned to them.

We have machines that can sense and assign 700nm to a particular wavelength but we don't say that the number IS the light. It's just a construct we created that allows us to calculate aspects of light.
Same with the color red. It's a construct our mind creates that allows us to distinguish one wavelength from another.

We have no direct perception of reality. Just codes our minds create to allow us to distinguish some limited aspects of reality so we can interact and survive.
