When you look out of the window, you think that you see an image with your eyes, as this is the way that you have been taught to think. However, in reality this is not how it works, because you do not see the world with your eyes. You see the image created in your brains. This is not a prediction, nor a philosophical speculation, but the scientific truth.
This concept can be better understood when we realize how the visual system operates. The eye is responsible for transforming light into an electric signal by means of the cells in the retina. This electrical signal reaches the sight center in the brain. The signals create the vision you see when you look out of the window. In other words, the sights you see are created in your brain.

The eye is a receptor, it picks up visible light and focuses it. It sends this impulse via the optic nerve to the brain (cerebrum) where it is interpreted into sight. It is the brain that "sees."
People who get brain damage to the optic center of the brain cannot see, even though there is nothing wrong with their eyes.

All of our senses are experienced in the brain.
Our eyes,just like our ears (and our fingers,tongues,and noses), merely relay to our brains the information that they are tuned to receive.
Your brain turns all this data into "sensations".
It all happens in your brain.Then a part of your brain puts all the information together to tell you what's going on in your environment.

But lets not forget that our brains do not know the difference between "seeing" an apple and imagining an apple. Its all the same to your brain, your reality is just what you precieve, real or not.

Every thing we see, touch and hear exists in our brains, therefore we see with our brains

yes, if you see your eyes as a camera, and your brain as the film development, and processing dept(what do you do with the info), all done within a millisecond, or nanosecond.
