People are equipped with senses such as sight, hearing and taste that help us to take in the world around us. In this module, you will learn about the biological processes of sensation and how these can be combined to create perceptions.

We begin by learning the distinction between sensation and perception. Then we consider the physical properties of light and sound stimuli, along with an overview of the basic structure and function of the major sensory systems.

Sensation is the physical detection of stimuli, while perception is the psychological interpretation of those stimuli. Not all sensations lead to perception due to sensory adaptation, where prolonged, constant stimuli become less noticeable.

When sensory information is detected by a sensory receptor, sensation has occurred. For example, light that enters the eye causes chemical changes in cells that line the back of the eye. These cells relay messages, in the form of action potentials (as you learned when studying biopsychology), to the central nervous system. The conversion from sensory stimulus energy to action potential is known as transduction.
