Finally‚ there must be sensory cortex‚ where the signals will be analyzed and interpreted consciously. The skin is responsive to a number of stimuli. These include light touch‚ deep pressure‚ vibration‚ and changes in temperature. Any stimulus must be of threshold magnitude to be detected. All sensory systems have a limit to their sensitivity; any stimulus below

Seeing a River” and Charles Yale Harrison’s “In the Trenches‚” the authors use sensory imagery to enhance the reader’s visualization on the plot. In addition‚ both authors effectively demonstrate the use of imagery. In Twain’s “Two ways of seeing a River‚” he uses sensory imagery to describe his change of view on his once great river; however‚ in Harrison’s “In the Trenches‚” he effectively uses multiple types of sensory imagery to show the wartime life of the narrator. Both passages allow the reader

Sensory adaptation is defined as the characteristics of the human senses that make them to decrease the responsiveness to persistent or continuous stimuli. Sensory receptors better respond to varying stimulation than constant level of stimulation. It is unintentional and can only be reversed by changing or eliminating the stimuli.
