Our perceptions are products of our brains; they relate to physical reality only indirectly and incompletely. Explain this statement, using examples of vision and the perception of cold.
General sensations :-a- originate from all sensory receptors of the bodyb- are mediated by somatic sensory fibers onlyc- include the sense of movementd- include the sense of equilibrium
The sensory contex is the area of your brain that processes sensations from your body. Each section of the sensory cortex processes information from a different body part. Larger body parts, such as you back or thighs, do not necessarily receive more space the sensory cortex. Explain why larger areas of your body such as your stomach back or thighs do not have a large space in the sensory cortex of the brain and why is it important that these areas cannot distinguish minor sensations.

- Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/DanielleReed) to learn about Dr. Danielle Reed of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, PA, who became interested in science at an early age because of her sensory experiences. She recognized that her sense of taste was unique compared with other people she knew. Now, she studies the genetic differences between people and their sensitivities to taste stimuli. In the video, there is a brief image of a person sticking out their tongue, which has been covered with a colored dye. This is how Dr. Reed is able to visualize and count papillae on the surface of the tongue. People fall into two large groups known as tasters and non-tasters on the basis of the density of papillae on their tongue, which also indicates the number of taste buds. Non-tasters can taste food, but they are not as sensitive to certain tastes, such as bitterness. Dr. Reed discovered that she is a non-taster, which explains why she perceived bitterness differently than other people she knew. Are you very sensitive to tastes?

The first half of the pathway is theprojection from the RGCs through the optic nerve to thelateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus on either side.This first fiber in the pathway synapses on a thalamic cellthat then projects to the visual cortex in the occipital lobewhere “seeing,” or visual perception, takes place. This video gives an abbreviated overview of the visual systemby concentrating on the pathway from the eyes to theoccipital lobe. The video makes the statement (at 0:45) that“specialized cells in the retina called ganglion cells convertthe light rays into electrical signals.” What aspect of retinalprocessing is simplified by that statement?
