I wonder... If you trained your mind at an early enough age do you think that it could be possible to alter your methods of interpreting the electical stimuli and thus alter your perception of reality? I hear so many old philosophers talk about "shunning illusion for reality" and things of the sort; maybe those phrases go deeper into science than we gave them credit for... science and philosophy do seem to share many fundamental ideas.
