sensory neuroscience

Sensory neuroscience is the study of how our bodies detect and interpret signals from the environment through our senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. It explores how sensory organs (like eyes and ears) receive stimuli and convert them into electrical signals that are processed by the brain. This field helps us understand how we perceive the world around us, how sensory information influences our behavior, and how conditions affecting senses can impact daily life. In essence, it uncovers the biological mechanisms that allow us to experience and make sense of our environment.
