Sensory processing is the ability to neurologically organize information our body picks up from the environment around us. Sensory information is received from the peripheral nervous system, which consist of sensations from the skin, muscles and our senses, which then transmitted to the brain. The information is then integrated and the individual has an adaptive response. An individual is composed of eight senses, which are tactile, olfactory, gustatory, visual, auditory, vestibular,…

The way we sense things is how we perceive the world around us, and to also make sense of it all. The sensory organs I chose to explain are the nose, tongue, and ears and how they connect to the brain for our perception. As we inhale the scent of something, the molecules reach the receptor cells high in both nasal cavities. Then the axons from millions of these receptors carry nerve impulses directly to the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb is the smell center of the brain. From there, records…

I participated in the senses challenge supplied by the British Broadcasting Company to test my abilities and regards to my main sensory modalities. I achieved 100%, my first try, on the test. I was not surprised by the fact of my grade as the test was easy for me. The easiness isn 't due to the inability to accurately conduct the senses challenge online or the gullibility of the test taker but due to the fact I was raised in a sensory enhancing environment. The North Dakota environment…

Looking at somatic psychology from a structural level, somatic psychology is uniquely positioned to offer an understanding of the way in which an individual adjusts as a ‘normal citizen’ and how this contributes to the reproduction of the cultural and socioeconomic system within which he or she becomes adjusted (Johnson, 2009). When we conform to prohibitions and inhibitions dictated by our culture, this requires a loss of attention to the voice of our embodied experience. This is where…

The Sensory System is a very complex System in the body. There are several paths in the Sensory System from places like the eye,ear,skin,nose,etc. to the brain. I am going to tell you about the pathways from the ear to the brain, the eye to the brain, and the nose to the brain. Also, I am going to write about three Geico advertisements I watched and explain the message from the advertisement and what personal factors might be affecting my perception of the advertisements. The sound wave path…

an individual 's body. It studies the relationship between the physical stimulation and the psychological effects, where the sensory receptors find the information that is seen and the nervous system then processes the information to the brain of the individual. However, perception is where the brain develops the information in a person’s mind by interpreting recognizing, and thinking about the sensations that they physically feel in order to determine the emotion, feeling, and appearance of the…
