Perceptions” 9 July 2010 SENSORY PERCEPTIONS 2 “Sensory Perceptions” The body’s senses are the input devices of the human computer known as the brain. These senses‚ touch‚ sight‚ smell‚ sound and taste‚ are only as effective as the human brain can process the information. The accuracy of these inputs can easily be deceived when the senses conflict or not interpreted as intended. Like any other computer‚ the information being processed

believe in the accuracy of sensory information. The first reason is part of our developmental stage is to learn how to perceive all five senses: the sense of touch‚ smell‚ sight‚ taste‚ and hearing. There are several reasons the five senses help influence the way we perceive information. Such as‚ for example‚ the sense of smell will allow you to smell when milk is sour or if you have a baby and the child needs to be changed. The second reason I believe in accuracy of sensory information is by the sense

of why we perceive to smell and taste at the same time. The tongue is made up of small lumps known as papillae. Near to the papillae taste receptors can be found. They function to receive sensory information through two important procedures known as neurotransmitter and depolarization release. From the axons of the taste receptors the sensory data is than transmitted to the three taste pathways through cranial nerves (CN) VII (facial nerve transfers about two-thirds of taste sensory information from

Why study perception? Human Perception and VR • Important to understand human abilities and limits • Determine appropriate range for input and output (frame rate‚ resolution‚ etc) • Understand that different senses have different ranges and abilities • Determine appropriate sensory channel to use to transfer information • Avoid sickness and injury Human Perceptual Systems • • • • • • Visual Vestibular Auditory Olfactory Haptic Gustatory Visual Perception • Visual information is often considered

I taste all sorts of things such as turkey and prime rib‚ macaroni and cheese‚ corn on the cob‚ candy yams‚ mashed potatoes‚ and greens.

same truth. Perhaps‚ truth is or isn’t different for each humans being. As reasons’ process is the explanation of how something is the way it is is and perceptions’ is by how human beings understand something via their senses‚ sight‚ sound‚ touch‚ taste‚ smell and so their processes are different. Therefore the processes of others way of knowing is different too then we can’t say that some ways of knowing are more likely than other to lead to truth. One way of defining truth is by reason‚ when something

Relates to Human Processing Although well related‚ sensation and perception play two complimentary but vastly different roles in how we interpret our world as humans. Sensation refers to the process of sensing our environment through touch‚ taste‚ sight‚ sound‚ and smell‚ also known as the five senses. This information is then sent to our brains in raw form where perception comes into play. Perception is the way we interpret sensations and then make sense of everything surrounding us. Both sensation

The emphasis on "Richard Bone" by Edgar Lee Masters expresses the thought and value of one who has passed away to the afterlife and is exhibited as something they are not.This poem intrigues me because it shows the different ways of how someone is perceived to be despite‚ being dead or alive.I like how it consists of much relatable content like the judgmental factor of how someone’s description changes once they have died. This relates to our world today because many peoples perspective on their

This imbalance in the types of synesthesia is fascinating. The five senses can have ten possible synesthetic pairings. Synesthetic relationships are usually unidirectional‚ however‚ meaning that for a particular synesthete sight may induce touch‚ but touch does not induce Visual perceptions. This one-way street‚ therefore‚ increases the permutations to twenty (or thirty if you include the perception of movement as a sixth element)‚ yet some senses‚ like sight and sound‚ are involved much more
