On your tv screen in usa your are watching a live broadcast of a football match played in germany.That would be b and c, except that there's no football match being played in my head or on the screen, ofc. There's a neural correlate of the football match, there's a digital signal transmission of a bitmap.
where is the location of the image you see?
a) in Germany
b ) on the tv screen
c) in your brain
The real answer is to ask "Which image?" There's an image in Germany, where the tv cameras are getting their image from the live event. There's an image at each step along the way to your brain, otherwise the final image in your brain would be incomplete. All of this is referring to an image or representation as being a real thing. Is there really an image in the brain, or is it more a collection of memory registers each holding the various properties of the visual stimulus hitting the receptors in the eyes? When I look straight ahead, there should be a hole where the blind spot is. Does our brain "fill in" the hole, or does it simply not represent it? You can't "see" what isn't there. Regardless, the image in our head is not a one for one copy of the light hitting the retina; it is a constructed experience which only represents in the sense that a cake recipe 'represents' a finished cake. It is more a description of what is being seen than an actual image of what is being seen.
