My red is better than your red.

Remember back in third grade when you first thought, "What if everyone sees different colors, but we learn to call them by the same names?" This article does not answer that question; however it does provide some interesting science on our varying ability to see colors.

And here's a fascinating piece about body image and the brain. This study could have promising implications for those who suffer from eating disorders.

Reality is one's perception of existence. Existence is the fabrication of nothingness into being. Nothing implies "no-thing" and thus "some-thing". Therefore everything is an echo and perhaps your red is better than mine.

Parietal Lobes: The parietal lobes interpret, simultaneously, sensory signals received from other areas of the brain such as our vision, hearing, motor, sensory and memory. Together, memory and the new information that is received give meaning to objects.
