Descartes’ Skeptical Argument and Reponses by Bouwsma and Malcolm In this essay‚ I will examine Rene Descartes’ skeptical argument and responses by O.K. Bouwsma and Norman Malcolm. I intend to prove that while both Bouwsma and Malcolm make points that refute specific parts of Descartes’ argument in their criticisms‚ neither is sufficient in itself to refute the whole. In order to understand Descartes’ argument and its sometimes radical ideas‚ one must have at least a general idea of

Technically‚ this device is underlying a principle called “electrotactile stimulation for sensory substitution”‚ an area of study that involves using encoded electric current to represent sensory information and applying that current to the skin‚ which sends the information to the brain. 1.INTRODUCTION A blind woman sits in a chair holding a video camera focused on

Ch. 5 – Sensory‚ Attentional and Perceptual Processes 1 Explain the functional limitations of sense organs. Ans. Our sense organs function with certain limitations. E.g. our eyes cannot see things which are very bright or dim. Our senses function within a limited range of stimulation. In order to be noticed by the sensory receptor‚ a stimulus needs to be of a suitable intensity to be noticed by the sensory receptor‚ i.e. it has to carry a minimum value or weight. The minimum value of a stimulus

Cervical vestibular-evokes myogenic potentials develop from the saccule (Fowler‚ et al.‚ 2014). The saccule cells are located in the inner ear. The inner ear distinguishes upward and downward movements within the body. The sensory nerves transmit information into the brain that allows the body to stay balanced and keeps spatial ability intact. The cVEMPs were tested and measured using hearing devices for each ear of the participant (Fowler‚ et al.‚ 2014). Participants’ feedback
