Document Summary
In the mind: the subjective, objective in the head and in the word: we are receptors of the stimuli we receive from the brain, we need to attend to something and have the right mechanisms to transfer this into something our brains can interpret, our brain then needs to make sense of this information actively, that processes and makes decisions of what the thing is (auditory, smell etc. , processing leads to our understanding, perception cannot be compared across individuals. Attention influences perception: there is a lot of subjectivity to what we perceive, what we attend to has a large part on recording what we see, example: visual illusions, actively looking at visual scenes and making decisions, we can only pay attention to a small portion of cues at once, we can see incongruences if we try to exploit them in art, try the relate movement to perception is difficult.
