  2. Sensory processing sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_sensitivity

    Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a temperamental or personality trait involving "an increased sensitivity of the central nervous system and a deeper cognitive processing of physical, social, and emotional stimuli". [2]

  3. Sensory processing disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

    Sensory processing disorder (SPD), formerly known as sensory integration dysfunction, is a condition in which multisensory input is not adequately processed in order to provide appropriate responses to the demands of the environment.

  4. Sensory processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing

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

  5. Sensory overload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_overload

    Calming, focusing on music works for some. If a quick break does not relieve the problem, an extended rest is advised. People with sensory processing issues may benefit from a sensory diet of activities and accommodations designed to prevent sensory overload and retrain the brain to process sensory input more typically. It is important in ...

  6. Perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception

    A sensory system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. 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 ...

  7. 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 ...

  9. Lateral inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_inhibition

    This creates a contrast in stimulation that allows increased sensory perception. It is also referred to as lateral antagonism and occurs primarily in visual processes, but also in tactile, auditory, and even olfactory processing. [1]
