    For example, sensory cues include visual cues, auditory cues, haptic cues, olfactory cues and environmental cues. Sensory cues are a fundamental part of theories of perception , especially theories of appearance (how things look).

  3. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory neurons (including the sensory receptor cells), neural pathways , and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception and interoception .

  4. Sensory processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing

    Perhaps one of the most studied sensory integrations is the relationship between vision and audition. [16] These two senses perceive the same objects in the world in different ways, and by combining the two, they help us understand this information better. [17] Vision dominates our perception of the world around us.

A sensory system consists of sensory receptors, neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception. Commonly recognized sensory systems are those for vision, hearing, somatic sensation (touch), taste and olfaction (smell), as ...

  6. Sense - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense

    Perception occurs when nerves that lead from the sensory organs (e.g. eye) to the brain are stimulated, even if that stimulation is unrelated to the target signal of the sensory organ. For example, in the case of the eye, it does not matter whether light or something else stimulates the optic nerve, that stimulation will results in visual ...

  7. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    The main functions of the somatosensory system are the perception of external stimuli, the perception of internal stimuli, and the regulation of body position and balance (proprioception). [2] Mechanosensory information includes that of light touch, vibration, pressure and tension in the skin.

  8. Stimulus modality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_modality

    Multimodal perception is the ability of the mammalian nervous system to combine all of the different inputs of the sensory nervous system to result in an enhanced detection or identification of a particular stimulus. Combinations of all sensory modalities are done in cases where a single sensory modality results in an ambiguous and incomplete ...
