But the whole point of the topic is that this does not happen - that the brain constructs nothing. In reality though, your brain does construct your perception, and when you are hallucinating it's just doing it wrong.
I thought the point was that this "morphic field" or whatever is akin to another sense, not that the brain constructs nothing.

Yes, pain is all in the head and something triggered by the nerve impulses - but what makes it painful? Imagine a robot: you could teach it to recoil from something hot and associate it with "danger"/"bad", but what makes it "painful" in the abstract feely way? I think this is extremely interesting. The question is what happens to the nerve impulses between being registered (sent on their way to the brain) and our experience of those impulses.

Google searching 'how the brain registers pain' gives this page, which seems to explain it pretty well
