Sensation and Perception Sites that examine stimulation of the nervous system, and the brain's effort to find meaning in that stimulation. Last Updated March 30, 2000 (New site: ePsych Sensory and Perceptual Processes link added.) ePsych Sensory and Perceptual Processes — Tutorials and demos of the sensory and perceptual processes at Gary Bradshaw's new e.psych site. IllusionWorks — Billed as "the most comprehensive collection of optical and sensory illusions on the world-wide web.", IllusionWorks cannot miss the mark by much. In addition to dozens of illusions, many of them origionals, you will find a brief introduction to illusions and perception, a comprehensive list of books published on illusions, a comprehensive list of related links to illusion, perception, and cognitive science sites, plus interactive illusion demonstrations (for which you will need to use a java-enabled browser) and interactive antique illusion puzzles (for which you will need the proper Shockwave plugin).

You strenuously reach the top of a particular peak. Breathing heavily, you let out a sigh in triumph as you reach the top. Around yourself, you see a lake surrounded by the valley on three sides. Feeling the wind rush against your face, you yell a loud, "hello" and listen for an echo. This nature scene just brought the lesson at hand to focus: sensation and perception . Sensation is when a stimulus, something that causes a physical or mental response, is received by one of the various sense organs of the body (eg. the eye, ear, nose, tongue, and skin/touch) and are fed into the brain. Each of the structures and systems that make up our senses have specialized structures called sensory receptors. These receptors are specialized cells that receive an incoming stimulus through a sense system and are able to translate this stimulus into an electrical impulse the brain can use. Special sensory neurons are located at these receptors, capable of translating the stimulus into an electrical impulse the brain can interpret. Perception refers to how we take sensory input and translate it into something that can be interpreted and organized by our brain. The way you are perceiving the environment around you involves your brain communicating with all your senses. The echo you hear, the way you're able to tell the lake is surrounded by mountains, are all examples of the way we use perception.

Events Calendar Psychology Department News: The Department of Psychology at Columbia University invites applications for a faculty position at the assistant professor level (to begin JULY 1, 2011). On June 6, 2010 Professor Walter Mischel was the first psychologist in 70 years to receive from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem the degree of Doctor Philosophiae Honoris Causa. The award letter from university President Menahem Ben-Sasson and university Rector Sarah Stroumsa "...acknowledges (his) outstanding scientific contributions in the areas of cognitive, social and personality psychology." The NPR.org article, " Conquering Your Fear of Bedbugs ", and the ScienceFriday.com video, " Bedbugs ", both feature Professor Kevin Ochsner in August 2010.

31. Sensation Versus Perception Article explains the difference between sensation and perception. http://www.learninginfo.org/sensation-perception.htm

PAGETYPE="standard" Home A B C ... Home Sensation and Perception: What is the Difference? Sensation and Perception: What is the Difference? We make contact with the world around us through our five primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Psychologists distinguish between sensation and perception Sensation is the pickup of information by our sensory receptors, for example the eyes, ears, skin, nostrils, and tongue. In vision, sensation occurs as rays of light are collected by the two eyes and focused on the retina. In hearing, sensation occurs as waves of pulsating air are collected by the outer ear and transmitted through the bones of the middle ear to the cochlear nerve. Perception is the interpretation of what is sensed. The physical events transmitted to the retina may be interpreted as a particular color, pattern, or shape. The physical events picked up by the ear may be interpreted as musical sounds, a human voice, noise, and so forth. Lack of experience may cause a person to misinterpret what he has sensed. In other words, perception represents our apprehension of a present situation in terms of our past experiences , or, as stated by the philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804): "We see things not as they are but as we are."

32. Sensation And Perception Light describes energy variations over time and space. These variations can be characterized by intensity and wavelength . Only electromagnetic energy in the range of http://dragon.uml.edu/psych/organize.html

Organization as a Primary Characteristic of Perception Light describes energy variations over time and space. These variations can be characterized by "intensity" and "wavelength". Only "electromagnetic energy" in the range of approximately "400 to 700 nM", which the human eye can transduce, is called "light". Variations in the intensities and wavelengths of light that strike molecules on the "rod" and "cone" receptors of our retinas produce patterns of voltage variations in the process called "transduction". Following transduction, the voltage pattern variations are transformed through networks of "neurons" in our visual system. A first and seemingly immediate awareness, which more or less corresponds to the energy stimulation patterns, is referred to as "sensation". "Perception" can be distinguished from sensation in that it refers to a process which requires more organization than sensation, is more heavily dependent on learning than sensation, and requires more time for completion than sensation. Below are what might appear as blobs when you first look at them. Your immediate impression of the blobs provides an example of awareness at a sensory level. If you continue to look at the blobs, four stimuli will emerge. You needn't try to organize the blobs. The organization process will occur without any overt striving on your part. These blobs have been created to slow the perceptual process so that you can experience what typically occurs speedily in subjective time.

33. Sensation (psychology) - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia In psychology, sensation and perception are stages of processing of the senses in human and animal systems, such as vision, auditory, vestibular, and pain senses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensation_(psychology)

Sensation (psychology) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search In psychology sensation and perception are stages of processing of the senses in human and animal systems, such as vision auditory , vestibular, and pain senses. These topics are considered part of psychology, and not anatomy or physiology , because processes in the brain so greatly affect the perception of a stimulus. Included in this topic is the study of illusions such as motion aftereffect color constancy auditory illusions , and depth perception Sensation is the function of the low-level biochemical and neurological events that begin with the impinging of a stimulus upon the receptor cells of a sensory organ Perception is the mental process or state that is reflected in statements like "I see a uniformly blue wall", representing awareness or understanding of the real-world cause of the sensory input. In other words, sensations are the first stages in the functioning of senses to represent stimuli from the environment, and perception is a higher brain function about interpreting events and objects in the world. Gestalt theorists believe that with the two together a person experiences a personal reality that is greater than the parts.
