44 Chapter 5. Conclusions

In conclusion, our sensory systems play a crucial role in providing us with information about the world around us. Sensation involves the process of converting external stimuli into neural energy and transmitting it to the brain, while perception refers to the interpretation and conscious experience of sensory information. Our perception is influenced by factors such as attention, motivation, experience, biases, and culture. Studying sensation and perception provides insights into the mechanisms of sensory processing and how they shape our experiences. This knowledge is crucial for fields such as psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and design, enabling us to improve human well-being, create effective interventions, and design environments that optimize sensory experiences.
