What is Perception?
Perception is our sensory experience of the world around us and involves both the
recognition of environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli. Through
the perceptual process, we gain information about properties and elements of the
environment that are critical to our survival. Perception not only creates our experience
of the world around us; it allows us to act within our environment.
Perception includes the five senses; touch, sight, taste smell and taste. It also includes
what is known as proprioception, a set of senses involving the ability to detect changes
in body positions and movements. It also involves the cognitive processes required to
process information, such as recognizing the face of a friend or detecting a familiar
scent.
The Environmental Stimulus
The Attended Stimulus
The Image on the Retina
Transduction
Neural Processing
Perception
Recognition
Action
Sensations can be defined as the passive process of bringing information from the
outside world into the body and to the brain. The process is passive in the sense that
we do not have to be consciously engaging in a "sensing" process.

Sensation occurs:
a) sensory organs absorb energy from a physical stimulus in the environment.
b) sensory receptors convert this energy into neural impulses and send them to the
brain.

What is Sensation?
.Perception can be defined as the active process of selecting, organizing, and
interpreting the information brought to the brain by the senses.

Perception follows:
a) the brain organizes the information and translates it into something meaningful.

psychophysics
the study of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their
intensity, and our psychological experience of them
transduction
Transduction in physiology also has a meaning that relates to psychology when
discussing the biological origins of the mind: that is, transduction meaning the
transportation of stimuli to the central nervous system, when physical signals from the
environment are transformed into electrical or neural signals.
Technically speaking, transduction is the process of converting one form of energy into
another. As it relates to psychology, transduction refers to changing physical energy into
electrical signals (neural impusles) that can make their way to the brain. For example,
your ears receive energy (sound waves) and transduce (or convert) this energy into
neural messages that make their way to your brain and are processed as sounds.

In psychology, we talk about transduction on a neurological level. When something in
your environment occurs (for example, you touch a hot pan), that environmental energy
is then converted to neural and electrical energy in your body as the "message" and
then the reaction to pull your hand back (or even the experience of pain, for that matter)
is passed from one cell to the next.
When physical energy gets transformed into nerve signals
The transfer of energy from outside the body to the brain.
Sensation is transducted as a perception for the brain to understand.
Transduction involves a physical outside force which takes the form as neural
messages.
The process of "translating" the sensation received into neural messages that the brain
can comprehend. Transduction = translation.
The process of information getting transduced into nerve cells.
Transduction occurs with all five senses, Taste, Smell, Hearing, [[#|Sight]], and Touch.
In the ear it occurs in the cochlea, in the nose it occurs in the taste buds, and in hearing
it occurs in the inner ear.
Transducting = Transforming
The conversion of physical energy into neural messages.
