Not a trivial analysis (unless you're an EE) but a fair look at the subject, with interesting comments and detail. A different way of looking at the subject.

1 FaverViewed: 9 TimesQuoted: (...) The first thing to know is that the mind isn't a mirror, or even a passive observer of reality. Much of what we think of as being out there actually comes from in here, and is a byproduct of how the brain processes sensation. In recent years scientists have come up with a number of simple tricks that expose the artifice of our senses, so that we end up perceiving what we know isn't real - tweaking the cortex to produce something uncannily like hallucinations.
