Statement 1 is the best fit.
Einstein often emphasized that sensory perception can be misleading and that deeper physical reality may differ from what our senses suggest. A well-known remark attributed to him is, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” His work in relativity and his philosophical comments underscore that intuition and senses are limited; theory and mathematics are needed to reveal the true structure of nature.
The other statements (that perception is explained by psychoanalysis, that emotion and behavior are simply results of perception, or that dream analysis explains different ways of seeing) do not reflect Einstein’s views or priorities. He was not a proponent of psychoanalytic or dream-centered accounts of perception.
