Actually, as far as I can tell, how do we know that we do see things up side down? Certianly the image on the retina is inverted, but interpretation of that information is the job of the visual cortex.

Does the brain really invert it, or do we just process it as is and perceive it the correct way up since that is what we are used to?


I was thinking about this exact same thing the other day! I decided eventually that it is neither the correct way up or the upside down, because there is no up and down inside the brain.
