Sensory transduction

Sensory transduction is the process by which our sensory organs convert external stimuli—like light, sound, or touch—into electrical signals that our brain can interpret. Specialized receptor cells detect specific types of stimuli and change them into neural impulses through complex chemical and electrical changes. These signals then travel along nerves to the brain, allowing us to perceive and interpret our environment. Essentially, sensory transduction is the conversion of physical or chemical signals from the world into the language of our nervous system.
