    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…

    • 7 Pages

    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.

    Sense Datum

    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.

    The Senses Challenge

    • 650 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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…

    • 3 Pages

    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…
