Sensory transduction refers to the process by which sensory stimuli are converted into signals that can be interpreted by our nervous system.
This is when our sensitivity decreases over time when we're exposed to constant stimuli. Like getting used to a strong smell after being in it for awhile.
A theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of faint stimulus amid background noise.
These are specialized cells that respond to specific types of energy such as light or sound waves.
