| | Sensation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The whole sensory system, including both physical sensation and interpretation (or cognition) of information from the senses, is referred to as a sensorium. | | | The ways in which these senses are divided from one another in concept, and combined in varying ratios in perceiving the world, differs based on individual physiology, social and cultural context, and physical surroundings. | | | The organic sense, per se, refers only to sensation from the internal organs, or viscera, but can, however, be expanded to include certain physiological processes, such as hunger, thirst, and drowsiness. |

| | SENSATION - Definition |
| | ``Sensation properly expresses that change in the state of the mind which is produced by an impression upon an organ of sense (of which change we can conceive the mind to be conscious, without any knowledge of external objects). | | | Perception, on the other hand, expresses the knowledge or the intimations we obtain by means of our sensations concerning the qualities of matter, and consequently involves, in every instance, the notion of externality, or outness, which it is necessary to exclude in order to seize the precise import of the word sensation.'' --Fleming. | | | Perception is only a special kind of knowledge, and sensation a special kind of feeling. |

| | The understanding of the assessment of respiratory sensation is important for the successful application of therapeutic modalities, including cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and exercise training for patients. | | | The basic research concerning respiratory sensation is composed of true science, ie, psychophysics and/or neurophysiology, behavioral science, applied physioIogy, and clinical science. | | | The therapeutic approach concerning "respiratory sensation" is now ready for prime time, since the great advances in the physiologic and psychological interpretations of respiratory sensation in the last decade enable us to use the many quantitative scales of breathlessness/dyspnea (eg, visual analog scale and Borg category scale) in practice. |

| | Classics in the History of Psychology -- James (1890) Chapter 17 |
| | But the supposition that a sensation primitively feels either itself or its object to be in the same place with the brain is absolutely groundless, and neither a priori probability nor facts from experience can be adduced to show that such a deliverance forms any part of the original cognitive function of our sensibility. | | | From the one point of view we may say that a sensation is in the same place with the brain (if we like), just as from the other point of view we may say that it is in the same place with whatever quality it may be cognizing. | | | Thus the sensations to which our joints give rise when they rotate are signs of what, through a large number of other sensations, tactile and optical, we have come to know as the movement of the whole limb. |

| | Locke ECHU BOOK II Chapter VII Of Simple Ideas of both Sensation and Reflection |
| | Delight or uneasiness, oneor other of them, join themselves to almost all our ideas both of sensation and reflection: and there is scarce any affection of our senses from without, any retired thought of our mind within, which is not able to produce in us pleasure or pain. | | | For, observing in ourselves that we do and can think, and that we can at pleasure move several parts of our bodies which were at rest; the effects, also, that natural bodies are able to produce in one another, occurring every moment to our senses,- we both these ways get the idea of power. | | | And so we should neither stir our bodies, nor employ our minds, but let our thoughts (if I may so call it) run adrift, without any direction or design, and suffer the ideas of our minds, like unregarded shadows, to make their appearances there, as it happened, without attending to them. |

| | To evoke deeper emotions and sensations in the beholders and listeners of their art, they explored the emotional and perceptual dynamics of simultaneous presentations of color, sound and dance (Kandinsky and Marc, 1912/1982). | | | Kandinsky's main experiments with cross-modal sensations concerned the multi-sensory perception of movement (Hahl-Koch, 1985; Van Campen, 1997a, 1997b). | | | But as he got more emotionally involved in the music, the synesthetic sensations of color would become stronger, more intense, and pass over to give an "image" of color. |

| | This sensation is mistakenly generated within the auditory system itself or by a vibration produced in the surrounding tissues or bones of the head; there is no corresponding sound in the external environment (Slayter and Terry, 1987). | | | This is accomplished by nerve endings in the skin that convey sensations to the brain by way of nerve fibers. | | | In a study on electrical stimulation of pain and touch, Gibson (1968), found that direct electrical stimulation of the skin will wake up touch sensations similar to those of vibration or brief contact. |
