”Pitch [sävelkorkeus] is a purely psychological phenomenon related to the frequency of vibrating air molecules. By ‘psychological’ I mean that it is entirely in our heads, not in the world out there; it is the end product of a chain of mental events that gives rise to an entirely subjective, internal mental representation or quality. Sound waves -- molecules of air vibrating at various frequencies -- do not themselves have pitch. Their motion and oscillations can be measured, but it takes a human (or animal) brain to map them to that internal quality we call pitch.
We perceive color in a similar way, and it was Isaac Newton who first realized this. (…) Newton was the first to point out that light is colorless, and that consequently color has to occur inside our brains. He wrote, “The waves themselves are not colored.” Since his time, we have learned that light waves are characterized by different frequencies of oscillation, and when they impinge on the retina of an observer, they set of a chain of neurochemical events, the end product of which is an internal mental image that we call color. Although an apple may appear red, its atoms are not themselves red. And similarly, as the philosopher Daniel Dennett points out, heat is not made up of tiny hot things.
A bowl of pudding only has taste when I put it in my mouth -- when it is in contact with my tongue. It doesn’t have taste or flavor sitting in my fridge -- only the potential. Similarly, the walls in my kitchen are not ‘white’ when I leave the room. They still have paint on them, of course, but
color only occurs when they interact with my eyes.” (s.22--24.)
