Sensory Psychology

Sensory psychology is the study of how our senses—such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—collect and interpret information from the environment. It explores how sensory stimuli are detected by our sensory organs and translated into signals our brain can understand. This field helps explain how we perceive the world around us, how perception can vary between individuals, and how sensory experiences influence our behaviors and emotions. Essentially, sensory psychology uncovers the processes by which our brain makes sense of external stimuli, forming the foundation for perception and our interaction with the world.
