ELI5: I read somewhere that what we experience isn’t the world itself, but how our brain constructs it from its interpretation. Is that true?

For example, things like color, taste, and sound depend on how our brain processes signals.

Does that mean our overall experience of the world is also something the brain constructs? If yes, how does that actually happen?

And how is it that everyone seems to see and experience things in roughly the same way?

Do two people actually experience the same thing when they look at the same object?

For example, if two people look at the same color or object, do they actually experience it the same way, or could it feel different though we use the same word for it?
