- Sensation in Psychology
Sensation more appropriately aligns with transduction, which is the conversion of physical, electromagnetic, auditory, and other information from out internal and external environment to electrical signals in nervous systems, which forward stimuli to the central nervous system in the form of action potentials and neurotransmitters. Sensation can therefore be thought of as a raw signal, which is unfiltered and unprocessed until it enters the central nervous system.
