“Much as the information channels of instruments, such as radio telescopes, transmit signals which are processed according to various assumptions to give useful data, so neural signals are processed to give data for perception. To understand perception, the signal codes and the stored knowledge or assumptions use for deriving these hypotheses need to be discovered”
Gregory (1980)

Perception is an active processPerception is an active process
Perception is not directly given by the Perception is not directly given by the stimulus input, but is the end product of the stimulus input, but is the end product of the interaction between the stimulus, interaction between the stimulus, expectations, hypotheses, and the expectations, hypotheses, and the knowledge that the perceiver brings to the knowledge that the perceiver brings to the situation.situation.
