Document Summary
Visual system is correcting by discounting the blue or gold colours. Correcting for the illumination in the photograph. Sensation taking a stimuli * detecting stimuli externally and responding to that stimuli, taking the external stimuli and the transmission of these responses to the brain. Sensation taking external stimuli from the world and to your brain. Stimuli needs to be translated into chemical or electrical signals fo your brain to understand them. Transduction process by which sensory receptors pass impulses to connecting neurons when they receive stimulation. Most of this information (not smell) goes first to the thalamus, before being directed to a particular part of the cortex, where the information is then interpreted as sign smell and taste. The minimum intensity of stimulation that must occur before you experience sensation * or the stimulus intensity detected above chance. The just noticeable difference between two stimuli * the minimum amount of change required for a person to detect a difference.
