So if they stimulate the brain in a certain way, they can control what people think and create experiences.

Furthermore, there should be no additional mental response when the subject eats his “first” cookie. This, however, seems entirely false.

It is more plausible to consider that people describe sensations as what it is like to experience something of which they already have knowledge.
