From sensation to perception

Sensation vs Perception

You will only see this as what your perception of what you are seeing.

We are sensing the same data, but we are interpreting it differently based on our own perspectives.

And there is one other process inside this thing

Sensation, Transduction, Perception

We first get the sensation

• Process by which our sensory organs receive stimulus energies from the environment

Then it goes to Transduction

• Process by which stimulus energy from the environment is converted to a neural signal

And last, depends on different part of the system, we get perception.

• Processing of neural systems from sensory systems to form an internal representation of the world

Perception

• Each of our senses result in a distinct experience of the world.

• Although all sensory information is transduce into the same type of electrical signals, the location of their connection to the brain determines how they are perceived.

• Ultimately, sensations merge in the brain to produce a complete perceptual experience.
