What’s the Difference between Sensation and Perception?

In this video, we lay the groundwork for future videos on sensation and perception (that is, how we sense and perceive using our eyes, ears, nose, and so on). We focus specifically on the difference between sensation and perception as well as on foundational principles that guide our ability to sense.
Sensation: The detection of physical energy (e.g., mechanical energy, light particles, sound waves) by our sense organs (e.g., ears, eyes, nose, skin, tongue), which relay this information to the brain; turning the signal to an electrical, neuronal signal.
Perception: The brain’s interpretation of sensation information; turning the electrical signal into a meaningful experience.
Transduction: The process of converting external energy or substance into electrical activity in the neurons using a sense receptor (e.g., cells in the back of the eye that transduce light, cells in part of the ear that transduce sound).
Sensory Adaptation: For all senses, activation is greatest when we first detect a stimulus; after the initial detection of the stimulus, activation decreases.
Absolute Threshold: The lowest level of a stimulus we can detect 50% of the time when no other stimuli are present.
Just Noticeable Difference: The smallest change in the intensity of a stimulus that we can detect.
Weber’s Law: The stronger the stimulus, the bigger the change needed for a change in stimulus intensity to be noticeable.
Multimodality: The principle which states that, given the right circumstances, sensory systems do not always stick to one sense.
Synesthesia: A rare condition, and an example of multimodality, in which people can “hear” or “taste” colors, “see” different numbers in different colors, and so on.

Hey I'm a synesthesia person you're video really made me aha moment! I've always been magical as fuck but super misunderstood and unhelped by healthcare, all synesthesiasts on earth need so much help and acommodations still waiting for. I feel so intensely inside universe and out here I'm still processing, I feel oceans of ether between me and trying to send an email back to my therapist. Oceans of too much overwhelming to even phone calls for anything for long oceans of time. Everything is oceans inside. I am still on the processing journey to understand what all this is. Thank you for the videos!

What is pain, is it perception or sensation?

[@NA-nd3es]

Pain is sensation fir example in your skin or muscle in your organ sensory..and perception is the realisation that you felt pain in your muscle which this knowledge occur in brain ..by the way the pain detected by stimuli like sharp object is not perception because pain receptor are programmed but just one perception is in brain

[@howto.3411]

@@NA-nd3es my psychology teacher said, " 80% it's perception, and 20% it's sensation" 😶😟

[@NA-nd3es]

There is no percentage. What you feel you will get perception on it

@@NA-nd3es i do stand with the same logic, but nor does she . Anyhow, thanks alot
