If one thinks about it , the idea that the brain can make true representation of its environment presumes some external point of reference from which it is possible to judge the degree of correspondence between the representation and the reality. This implicitly presumes that the brain must have a capacity to see and understand its world from a point outside itself. Clearly, this cannot be so. Hence, the idea that the brain represents reality is open to serious question. Matura and Valera work identifies this paradox and suggests that the brain creates images of reality are expressions or descriptions of its own organization and interacts with these images modifying them in the light of actual experience.
