perceptual phenomena

Perceptual phenomena refer to the ways we interpret and make sense of sensory information from our environment. This includes how we see colors, hear sounds, or feel textures. Our brains process these signals and can sometimes create illusions or misinterpretations, such as perceiving motion in a still image. Factors like attention, prior experiences, and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping our perceptions. Understanding these phenomena can help us grasp why people might see or experience things differently, highlighting the complexity of human perception.
