hologram
The implication here is that the human brain actively filters external sensory stimulation and presents to consciousness a watered-down version of reality. The French psychologist Henri Bergson was convinced that the brain’s function was eliminative and not productive.

In 1966 Pribram proposed that the brain might interpret information in a similar way to the process by which a hologram records an image. He suggested that the fine fibres in the nerve cells digitize incoming information and store the data in this format. The brain then decodes these stored memory traces in the way a hologram decodes, or more

The implications of this Bohm–Pribram holographic theory of reality are simply staggering; the universe is a vast hologram that is processed by an observer’s brain which is, in itself, a hologram that contains the whole universe! Is this what the non-scientific, but profoundly perceptive, philosopher Broad was trying to explain when he made the

I argue that ‘reality’ is exactly how Bohm and Pribram suggest that it is. It is a huge hologram. However, where I differ from them is I that I believe that the hologram is internally generated by the brain itself. It is not ‘out there’ at all. Reality is, in a very real sense, an illusion. My Bohmian IMAX is a technological Maya – the Advaita

Now, here we are, in what appears to us to be a four-dimensional spacetime: with three spatial and one temporal dimension. But what if this isn’t representative of the full picture of reality; what if there are:
more dimensions out there,
that simply are inaccessible to us,
and that what we perceive as our four-dimensional Universe is actually the... See more

The big idea that our Universe is a hologram
The big idea behind a hologram is actually ubiquitous in physics: the notion that you can examine a lower-dimensional surface and obtain not only substantial information about the higher-dimensional reality that is encoded on it, but complete information that reveals to you the full set of physical properties concerning that higher-dimensional...
