Many are fooled by optical or auditory illusions, such as those in the challenge, as their brain misinterprets what they sense. Our sensation is the stimulation of our sensory organs (Gilbert, Nock, Schacter, Wegner 131). We use this to make perceptions in which we interpret our sensations using receptors, in order to understand what is being sensed.

Transduction occurs when the information that we get from our sensory organs is transformed into neural impulses to send to the brain. The Senses Challenge by BBC astonished me in a number of ways through affecting each of my senses along with providing me with a better understanding
