It doesnt give you images, it just fires similar neurons in the visual part of the brain as when you see things. Its like how a speaker can sound like a band only because its making similar vibrations as the band did… but it doesnt have any instruments inside. Its just reproducing the vibration that hits your ear. And like how a speaker wouldn’t know how to vibrate to sound like a trumpet without having recorded a trumpet playing, a person cannot really see what it hasn’t already seen… or some combination of sights stored in your memory.
