| | Perception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Methods of studying perception range from essentially biological or physiological approaches, through psychological approaches to the often abstract 'thought-experiments' of mental philosophy. | | | Perception is one of the oldest fields within scientific psychology, and there are correspondingly many theories about its underlying processes. | | | In psychology and the cognitive sciences, perception is the process of acquiring, interpreting, selecting, and organizing sensory information. |

| | Philosophy of perception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Our perception of the external world begins with the senses, which lead us to generate empirical concepts representing the world around us, within a mental framework relating new concepts to preexisting ones. | | | The philosophy of perception is mainly concerned with exteroception. | | | The succession of data transfers that are involved in perception suggests that somewhere in the brain there is a final set of activity, called sense data, that is the substrate of the percept. |

| | Perception and Interaction |
| | Perception in the broadest sense is a matter of interaction between the world and the self. | | | Perception -- seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, feeling the positions of joints and the tension of muscles, balance, temperature, pain... | | | Notice how much this adds to the complexity of person perception: In order to understand and predict and control people's experiences and behaviors, we have to understand the meanings they apply to reality. |

Mammals other than primates generally have less effective two-receptor color perception systems, allowing only dichromatic color vision; marine mammals have only a single cone type and are thus monochromats. | | | A given object may be viewed under various conditions. |

| | Perception (psychology), process by which organisms interpret and organize sensation to produce a meaningful experience of the world. | | | Perception, on the other hand, better describes one’s ultimate experience of the world and typically involves further processing of sensory input. | | | In practice, sensation and perception are virtually impossible to separate, because they are part of one continuous process. |

| | Subliminal Perception |
| | Overview of scientific approaches to the study of subliminal perception. | | | Examples of subliminal perception are found in studies of patients with neurological damage. | | | Another way in which subliminal perception has been demonstrated in controlled laboratory studies is by showing that stimuli can be perceived even when they are presented under conditions that make it difficult if not impossible to distinguish one stimulus from another stimulus. |

| | The nature of perception and the ability to perceive entities, qualities, relationships, and events is identical for all human beings of all ages with a fully developed neurological system, barring physiological or psychological anomalies. | | | Percepts are direct perceptions of entities, and no special integration is required by the brain or any other organ. | | | It states that perception is a group of sensations retained and integrated by the brain. |

| | If we relied only on retinal images for visual perception we would always be conscious of people growing physically bigger when they came closer, objects changing their shapes whenever we moved, and colours changing with every shift in lighting conditions. | | | Categorization is a key 'top-down' process which is involved in perception. | | | Our perception of objects is far more constant or stable than our retinal images. |

| | In contrast, the features of the elements in the other explanatory hypotheses that are responsible for the various features of our experience are not directly reflected in that experience. | | | A second argument for the conclusion that sense-data, rather than physical objects, are the direct or immediate objects of even veridical perceptual experience appeals to the causal account of the perceptual process offered by natural science. | | | Once again this applies most straightforwardly to spatial properties: thus, for example, the rectangular or trapezoidal shape that is immediately experienced can be said to be an indirect perception of a rectangular face of the material object that causes that experience. |

| | The Physiology of Perception |
| | The images suggest that an act of perception consists of an explosive leap of the dynamic system from the "basin" of one chaotic attractor to another; the basin of an attractor is the set of initial conditions from which the system goes into a particular behavior. | | | Consciousness may well be the subjective experience of this recursive process of motor command, reafference and perception. | | | Yet investigations are only now beginning to suggest how the brain moves beyond the mere extraction of features-how it combines sensory messages with past experience and with expectation to identify both the stimulus and its particular meaning to the individual. |

| | What is clear, though, is that there is no direct argument from experience to the tensed theory, since the present of experience, being temporally extended and concerning the past, is very different from the objective present postulated by the tensed theory. | | | We might also think that perception of order was itself explicable in terms of our experience of the distinction between past and present. | | | On Mellor's model, the mechanism by which time-order is perceived is sensitive to the time at which perceptions occur, but indifferent to their content (what the perceptions are of). |
