Sense

Almost everyone has experienced food differently when they are sick, or have been affected by their senses when a food looks unappealing. It’s almost like having a stuffy nose can make food seem more bland or unenjoyable, or like a certain appearance of a food can influence the way one perceives its taste. This actually does occur, because our senses do in fact influence one another. Smell and taste are both identified by a chemical sensation system, with smell being processed by the olfactory cells in the brain, and taste processed by gustatory cells in the brain. Other senses also influence others as well, like the way eating in a crowded or noisy environment can influence they way one perceives their food (Yan & Dando, 2015). To test to…

There are between five and twenty-one senses depending on your definition of a sense. The five basic senses that everyone can generally agree upon are touch, smell, sight, and hearing. The sense I was assigned to research is taste. The sense organ associated with taste is the tongue. The Lingual Papillae, Sulcus Termanalis, Tonsils, Adenoids and Frenulum Linguae are the main parts of the tongue. The Superior Longitudinal, Inferior Longitudinal, Transverse and Vertical muscles are the Intrinsic…

The classical understanding of sense perception in the western tradition dates from Aristotle and his work on “the nature of living things”, discussed in the treatise “De Anima”. In an attempt to manage the cognitive data produced by the experience of the world, perception was divided into the five classical senses visus-sight, auditus-hearing, odoratus-smell, gustus-taste, and tactus-touch, mediated by their corresponding organs eye, nose, tongue, skin, and ear. Following Aristotle 's remarks,…

does one see? What can be said that any person interprets when they observe an entity? The problem of visual perception is a very largely debated topic in philosophy. How is it that you can see an object, can it truly be called sight? Such questions are answered through a myriad of theories such as the argument from hallucination, but namely, the idea of sense-datum is prevalent in the discussion. Sense-datum is a theory that visual perception is based on having a relation to an object or…

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. These sensory receptors communicate with the Central Nervous System (CNS), however, through a process called transduction. Transduction occurs when…

It doesn’t matter where you are, you will always be observing a scene, whether you realize it or not. When going to the location I chose, it was odd trying to think about everything I needed to observe. Usually these observations are things I don’t pay attention to, but I do them anyway. As human beings, we observe with our senses. Our senses include sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. These senses aren’t always on our mind when we go to different places, unless of course one of them stands…

interpret pain impulses. The thalamus establishes the awareness of pain, and the cerebral cortex verifies the severity of the pain, discovers where the pain is coming from, and responds to the pain. Five Special Senses 1. Sense of Smell The olfactory organs of the nose are linked with the sense of smell. To aid in food selection, the…

All five of our different senses are important to have for a variety of reasons. They allow us to see, to feel, to hear, to smell, and to taste. There are also a lot of different parts of the body that allow us to experience these senses. If I had to choose which sense to lose though, I would choose to lose my sense of taste. One of our five senses is taste. The primary function of taste is to have us evaluate what we are eating. There are a few different areas that give us the ability to…

What are the Limits in Perception, and does it Greatly Affect Us? Sense perception is way of knowing information of the outside world be using sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch (though it’s debatable if there are more sense). Sense perception can be argued as one of the most important ways of knowing out there, as it’s greatly used in the other ways of knowing. Without it, you can’t reason because you need to be able to see what you’re reasoning, and you can’t know language because then…
