Sensations allow organisms to sense a face, and smell smoke when there is a fire Perception is how we interpret these sensations Perceptions on the other hand, require organizing and understanding the incoming sensation information

In order for sensations to be useful, we must first add meaning to those sensations, which create our perceptions of those sensations.
Sensation and perception are two separate processes that are very closely related
Sensation is input about the physical world obtained by our sensory receptors, and perception is the process by which the brain selects, organizes, and interprets these sensations. Sensation provides the raw sensory data that perception relies on, while perception gives meaning and context to the sensory inputs Perception builds upon sensation by organizing and interpreting the sensory information, allowing us to make sense of our surroundings. Our sensory receptors are constantly collecting information from the environment, however, it is how we interpret the information that affects how we interact with the world
Perception refers to the way sensory information is organized, interpreted, and consciously experienced. Sensory receptors are specialized neurones that respond to specific types of stimuli When sensory information is detected by a sensory receptor, sensation has occurred For example, light that enters the eye causes chemical changes in cells that line the back of the eye.
Although our perceptions are built from sensations, not all sensations result in perception
In fact, we often don’t perceive stimuli that remain relatively constant over prolonged periods of time. Sensation is the process of detecting stimuli through the senses, while perception is the interpretation and understanding of those stimuli by the brain. Sensations are things in our environment that are registered by the five major sensory organs Sensation is what we see, hear, smell, taste and feel
