*Chapter*6*Blog*

This chapter to me was extremely boring. It is hard to like something and think it is not boring when you don't exactly understand it the best. - In this chapter they talk about sensation & perception a lot. Sensation has to do with the process that our nervous system uses, and perception has to do with organizing and interpreting the information that we recognize in our every day lives. When you just view the definitions of the words it is a lot easier to understand to me, then when you put it in a more complex scenario. One of the things i thought was really interesting in this chapter was: The Sensory adaptation part of the chapter. Here they are talking about how when we are always stimulated in the same way, our senses get to be adapted to whatever it is and . They use a phrase in the chapter; "We perceive the world not exactly how it is, bus as it is useful for us to percive it." I thought that was a pretty bold, and also very true statement. One more thing i found interesting was: Transduction. It is like a conversion of one type of energy to another. When we have sensations, and when the stimulous energies, like sounds and smells, our bodys turn those things into something that is more easy for us to understand. When i think about that i think about the nervous system and automatic things that our bodies to to help us. Over all i think this chapter had some really good points in it. But a lot of it at a time is just hard to take in and understand all at one time.
