Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] sensation and perception are fundamental areas of study because much of our behavior reflects the way we react to the stimuli that the world around us provides us and how we interpret them. Sensation and perception deal with a wide range of issues, including, for example, how we react to physical stimuli, which are the processes that allow us to see, hear and experience pain, because optical illusions deceive us, like we distinguish one person from another, how we distinguish objects. In exploring these topics, we will see how the senses work together to provide us with an integrated vision and an understanding of the world.
