The physical properties of a stimulus are translated into neural impulses in a process called:
A) sensory coding
B) transduction
C) sensation
D) coarse coding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transduction refers to the process in which sensory receptors convert physical stimuli into neural impulses that can be interpreted by the brain. Sensory coding refers to the specific way in which these impulses are encoded and distinguished from one another. Sensation refers to the actual experience of perceiving a stimulus, while coarse coding refers to the use of broad neural signals to distinguish between different types of stimuli.
