Does the brain invert the image percieved back upright if you wear inverted goggles for a certain period of time?

Yup! Some cool research done on this over a century again (G Stratton, if I’m remembering the name correctly). The brain adapts to prism glasses and similar input shifts relatively quickly. It also adjusts back (and if you changed back and forth over time, your brain would get quicker at “switching gears”.

Similar thing happens with changes to sound input. In a study they put molds into the pinna (outer ear that’s the visible part) which is the part that usually helps us determine up-down directional info from sound that we otherwise couldn’t figure out from inter-aural timing/volume. People sucked at localizing sound for a while, got good at it over time, but then upon removing the molds, the brain seems to shift back into “old mode” and was quickly able to properly and accurately determine location from the normal input.
