The brain receives information and
electrical signals in a process called SENSORY PERCEPTION. Logicians call this
PERCEPTS.
Percepts are from our senses:
Hearing
Seeing
Tasting
Touching
Smelling

However, our CONCEPTS or the picture conjured in our
mind when we associate words with something previously sensed -
is not exactly the same as the original OBJECT perceived (sensed).
In schizophrenia, something happens in the sending of signals
from the sensors (nose, eyes, touch, taste, ears) to the brain.
Usually the first sense to experience a distorted nerve
transmission is hearing. A person with schizophrenia will hear
sounds even when there is perfect silence. Schizophrenia is very
treatable with medication. To allow someone to go untreated would
produce a distorted perception of
reality. Over time false concept
of reality.
