In this video, Dr. Kushner provides an overview of what it means to "sense" and "perceive" something. In sum, sensation is our ability to detect information from the outside world (smells, sights, sounds) and then convert that energy into electrical signals to reach the brain for processing. Perception is the way in which the brain processes and communicates these senses to the rest of the body.
