A scientist is conducting an experiment to see how high your heart rate goes up while doing a specific exercise. However, the scientist doesn’t know that some of the participants are active and run every day.

sensation - how sensory receptors receive and represent stimulus energies from the environment Perception - how we organize and interpret the sensory information, drawing meaning from the world around us neuron - a cell that conducts electrochemical signals and is the basic unit of the nervous system synesthesia - stimulation of one sense triggers another (feeling colors) Interneurons (association neurons) - neurons that carry messages from motor to sensory nerves myelin sheath - prevents ...

Sensation - correct answers is the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment. Perception - correct answers is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events. Bottom-up processing - correct answers analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brains's integration of sensory information. Example: putting a puzzle together...
