According to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, when the human brain is presented with conflicting information about an object from different senses, it finds a remarkably efficient way to sort out the discrepancies. Martin Banks, professor of optometry and psychology, explains how your brain splits the difference to create a single mental image.
What the brain always does is a weighted average. So it always takes what the eyes see and what the hand feels and it just averages the two to get a result.
In other cases, when the brain receives conflicting information from the same sense, it will go with the weighted average.
So that's what kind of convinced us then that the brain is really combining these two cues, and once it does that, it's basically just throwing away the cues. It just keeps that combined representation.
Understanding this type of brain function is a first step towards developing programs that integrate virtual reality technology, including those used by surgeons.

Berkeley 캘리포니아 주립대학의 연구원들에 따르면 인간의 뇌가 다른 감각들로부터 한 물체에 대한 모순된 정보를 제공 받았을 때 이러한 모순을 해결할 수 있는 매우 효과적인 방법을 찾는다고 합니다. Martin Banks 검안 및 심리학 교수는 인간 뇌가 어떻게 차이점을 나누어 단일한 정신적 이미지를 창조하는 지에 대해 설명합니다.
