Human and Alien Perception

The following clip from the film The Darkest Hour goes to some trouble to show the world from the point of view of an invisible alien lifeform. It then fails to show the world as real human beings see it.



When you look at the world with your head upside down the world does not appear upside down. This is a major clue that our brains process our visual inputs before we get to 'see' them.
