"HEY! THIS ISN'T HARMLESS CARTOON VIOLENCE -- THIS IS REAL!"

"It felt like I was in a big video game. It didn't even faze me, shooting back. It was just natural instinct. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! " remembers Swales, a fast-talking, deep-voiced, barrel-chested 29-year-old from Chesterfield, Va. He was a combat engineer in Iraq for nearly a year.

We see the world by means of our eyes, both when perceiving things
directly, with the aid of a tool, or virtually. Whether one is looking at
molecules through a microscope, watching television, or just observing
things naturally, the sensory data always passes through one's eyes before
being processed by the brain.
This is quite obvious (unless you're blind), but sensory data could
possibly be passed to the thalamus (and perhaps other parts of the brain)
through other means just as easily. Would one be able to tell the difference?
