utilized senses when initially observing our environment (Grahn‚ 2012).

Sensory stimulation is a chemical process which occurs between the human body and brain. When we experience sensation‚ our body is exposed to some type of sensory stimulation. The sensory receptors then receive this information‚ and transmit it to the brain using neural impulses‚ or neurotransmitters. There it is interpreted into the correct sensation. Sensations are the basic building blocks of perception. Perception is the process of organizing and making sense of our sensory input. Perception
