sure, we're in agreement, but what I'm getting at is that the 'sensation' of redness, or whatever (touch, taste, smell etc) is going to be loaded with the associations we've built up in the past. Another extreme example, if every time you heard a whistle, the room lights turned red, or every-time you saw the colour red, someone blew a whistle, you might learn to 'hear' red rather than see it (even after someone stopped fiddling with the lights and blowing whistles). Sensation, or the feeling of a thing I'm sure is very plastic, since the brain has very little to actually go on in working out the real world, and can be shown to rapidly deal with deviations from the norm (i.e. the tetrachromatic females mentioned above)
