    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense

    Sensory organs are organs that sense and transduce stimuli. Humans have various sensory organs (i.e. eyes, ears, skin, nose, and mouth) that correspond to a respective visual system (sense of vision), auditory system (sense of hearing), somatosensory system (sense of touch), olfactory system (sense of smell), and gustatory system (sense of taste).

  3. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    Most sensory systems have a quiescent state, that is, the state that a sensory system converges to when there is no input. [citation needed] This is well-defined for a linear time-invariant system, whose input space is a vector space, and thus by definition has a point of zero. It is also well-defined for any passive sensory system, that is, a ...

    Sensory ecology, how organisms obtain information about their environment; Sensory neuron, nerve cell responsible for transmitting information about external stimuli; Sensory perception, the process of acquiring and interpreting sensory information; Sensory receptor, a structure that recognizes external stimuli

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor_lexicon

    Flavor lexicons (American English) or flavour lexicons (Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) are used by professional taste testers to develop and detail the sensory perception experienced from food. The lexicon is a word bank developed by professional taste testers in order to identify an objective, nuanced and cross-cultural word ...

  6. Special senses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_senses

    The visual association cortex combines all sensory information perceived by the striate cortex which contains thousands of modules that are part of modular neural networks. The neurons in the striate cortex send axons to the extrastriate cortex , a region in the visual association cortex that surrounds the striate cortex.

  7. Sensory processing - Wikipedia

    Sensory processing is the process that organizes and distinguishes sensation (sensory information) from one's own body and the environment, ...

  8. Representational systems (NLP) - Wikipedia

    In particular, new code emphasizes individual calibration and sensory acuity, precluding such a rigidly specified model as the one described above. [23] Responding directly to sensory experience requires an immediacy which respects the importance of context. John Grinder has stated that a representational system diagnosis lasts about 30 seconds ...

  9. 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 ...
