Perception is the cognitive process by which the brain gathers, organizes, and interprets sensory information to make sense of the world. It allows us to understand our surroundings by giving meaning to what we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. [1, 2, 3]

Key Components of Perception

Sensation: The physical detection of environmental stimuli (e.g., light waves entering the eye or sound waves vibrating the eardrum). Sensation provides the raw data. [1]

Bottom-Up Processing: Using direct, raw sensory information from the environment to build understanding. It is the "what am I looking at?" phase. [1, 2]
