I think, therefore reality!

I think therefore I am. – Renee Descartes

A recent study has found reality to be a product of our own creation. Here is the evidence I have came to grasp. Light hits the eye as it sends neuron signals to the brain. The brain processes the data, and then sends the interpreted neuron signals back to the eye as visual information. Latest discovery is that there a significant increase in the neuron signals that the brain sends back to the eye.

If our brain is inserting additional information to reality, how do we distinguish what is real from what is not?

What are the benefits of knowing what is real? Haven’t we made it till now? Perhaps there is no necessity in finding the whole truth; only a dose of reality is all we need to make it through life.
