Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transduction is the process by which physical stimuli (such as light or sound waves) are converted into neural impulses that can be interpreted by the brain. Perception refers to the process by which these neural impulses are interpreted to create our conscious experience of the world, while sensation refers more broadly to the initial detection of physical stimuli by sensory receptors. Coarse coding is a method of representing sensory information in which different neurons are selectively responsive to a limited range of sensory inputs, rather than encoding the precise identity of each stimulus.
