These impulses stimulate certain parts of our brains. To be honest, I'm not sure if even the top neuroscience experts know exactly how this process works.
Here is an article I found, but I have no idea if it's peer reviewed.
Pretty much exactly what I was asking for and oddly enough, it agrees with me in saying that top neuroscientists aren't sure of the process so how can you (not a neuroscientist) make the claim that our thoughts are about something when even they can't make that claim? Are you going to end this merry-go-round and retract your claim now or at least admit that it has no scientific backing and is a faith based (not religious) claim?
I won't retract my statement. I'm thinking about ice cream right now. I don't know how my brain is processing this, but I know I am now thinking about ice cream. The article says that we do not know how the impulses get translated into thought, not that the impulses do not get translated into thought. I'm really not a 100% sure (or even 10%) where you intend to go with this.
