Difference between Perception and Sensory neuroscience

Perception vs. Sensory neuroscience

Perception (from the Latin perceptio) is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information, or the environment. Sensory neuroscience is a subfield of neuroscience which explores the anatomy and physiology of neurons that are part of sensory systems such as vision, hearing, and olfaction.

Similarities between Perception and Sensory neuroscience

Perception and Sensory neuroscience have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Multisensory integration, Receptive field, Sensory nervous system, Sensory neuron.

Multisensory integration

Multisensory integration, also known as multimodal integration, is the study of how information from the different sensory modalities, such as sight, sound, touch, smell, self-motion and taste, may be integrated by the nervous system.

Receptive field

The receptive field of an individual sensory neuron is the particular region of the sensory space (e.g., the body surface, or the visual field) in which a stimulus will modify the firing of that neuron.

Sensory nervous system

The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information.

Sensory neuron

Sensory neurons also known as afferent neurons are neurons that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded potentials.

Perception and Sensory neuroscience Comparison

Perception has 153 relations, while Sensory neuroscience has 20. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 2.31% = 4 / (153 + 20).
