Elements of all Sensory Systems
1. Specialized sensory receptors that are designed specifically to transduce a particular kind of physical energy.
2. Specialized neural circuits that channel the sensory information through the Thalamus to the relevant Primary Sensory Cortical Areas

Perception
• Most of the time perception leads animals to -
• Perceptual mechanisms have evolved to -
• Even though perceptions are derived in large part from transduced info that has been re-represented in the brain.
![Page 39: Suzi Perception](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563dbb3e550346aa9aab8170/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sensory and Perceptual Systems are Modularized
• They are specialized to -
• Most of these systems have -
• Early deprivation of activity -

Sensory and Perceptual Systems are Modularized
• Then passed on to higher-order regions of the brain -
• Parietal Lobe –
• Temporal Lobe –
• Frontal Lobe –

Integrating Perceptual Info
• When info processed and sent onto other systems for analysis - things can go awry.
• The case of Synesthesia
![Page 43: Suzi Perception](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563dbb3e550346aa9aab8170/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Synesthesia
• Syn = ___________ + aisthesis = ___________
• Means joined sensation -
• Music that looks like shards of glass
• Involuntary, but triggered by stimulus -
• Can be temporarily induced by -
![Page 44: Suzi Perception](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563dbb3e550346aa9aab8170/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Synesthesia
• Tends to run in families, more women than men, and left-handed
• Excellent memory but poor spatial and mathematical skills
• Prone to unusual experiences like those of temporal-lobe epileptics - déjà vu, clairvoyance
![Page 45: Suzi Perception](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563dbb3e550346aa9aab8170/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Synesthesia
• May reflect a holistic process of perception that is not usually available to consciousness - but is totally normal - some evidence in kids
• Clearly demonstrates how sensation, perception, emotion, and memory working together to interpret our environment

What do We do with Perceptual Info after We Integrate and Act?
• Keep track of it for future use?

Memory - What’s it for?
For our memory systems to function efficiently we have to forget much of our experience or ignore it all together (ie. never encode it).
Example: Change Blindness
