Sensations refer to the basic processes of detecting sensory stimuli through the sensory organs (e.g. eyes, ears, skin). Perceptions, on the other hand, depend on how the brain interprets and organizes the sensory information it receives. Prior experience, expectations, and other cognitive factors can influence how we perceive sensory stimuli, which is why perceptions are not purely based on the neural cues traveling between receptors and the brain.
