Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "Doctrine of Specific Nerve Energies," proposed by Johannes Müller, suggests that the nature of a sensory experience is determined not by the stimulus itself, but by the specific nerve pathways and brain areas activated by the stimulus. Thus, each sensory projection area in the brain produces its own unique experience regardless of the nature of the input.
