The collisions also emit photons. These quantum of light are the objective aspect of the appearances to which the mind gives rise. You say ..."we see the (brains representation) objects." But the term "objects" is misleading and at best only a partial (objective) rendering of our visual experience which dismisses the subjective aspect of pure cognition or knowing. We don't see "objects", we see appearances, a.k.a phenomena, or "that which appears" contingent upon objective / subjective interdependence. Reality cannot be denoted by any single (objective) thing. Discounting the significance of an apprehending consciousness (simply because it has no objective existence) will always lead to an incomplete understanding of perception.
