For example, vision involves light striking the retina of the eye; smell is mediated by odor molecules; and hearing involves pressure waves. > > Perception is not only the passive receipt of these signals, but it's also shaped by the recipient's [[learning]], [[memory]], expectation, and [[attention]]. Sensory input is a process that transforms this low-level information to higher-level information (e.g., extracts shapes for object recognition). The process that follows connects a person's concepts and expectations (or knowledge), restorative and selective mechanisms (such as attention) that influence perception. ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[Communication provides the opportunity to shape other's perceptions]] > - [[The audience's perception is more important than the artist's intention]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[notes - Different Meditative Styles]] > - [[10_Sources/Readwise/Articles/articles - IA for PKM — Crows, Camels, Concepts, and the Cognitive Divide|articles - IA for PKM — Crows, Camels, Concepts, and the Cognitive Divide]] > - [[video - How Napoleon Dynamite Broke The Algorithm]] > - [[10_Sources/articles - IA for PKM — Crows, Camels, Concepts, and the Cognitive Divide|articles - IA for PKM — Crows, Camels, Concepts, and the Cognitive Divide]] > - [[topics]] > - [[sympathy]] > - [[Higher-order theories of consciousness]] > - [[cerebral cortex]] > - [[cognition]] > - [[consciousness]] > - [[epistemology]] > - [[idealism]] > - [[knowledge]] > - [[meditation]] > - [[self-concept]] > - [[self-perception]] > - [[unconscious]] > - [[Neuroscience]] > - [[Psychology]] > - [[human experience]] > - [[self]] > - [[suffering]] > - [[Consciousness is our capacity to introspect]] > - [[Consciousness is the fundamental unit of existence]] > - [[Fear of hell is baked into Christianity for vulnerable believers]] > - [[Gen Z uses irony to navigate post internet communication]] > - [[Meditation increases our ability to influence the world]] > - [[Most anxiety isn't irrational it's just overcompensation]] > - [[Names matter because they effect people's perception and understanding]] > - [[Sadness is enlightenment and happiness is delusion]] > - [[Self-hatred is born out of dissonance between self-image and self-perception]] > - [[Strong enough logic becomes belief]] > - [[The ego is the brain's response to the realization that we are just another individual in the world]] #### Discussion Quote from [[Richard Feynman]] > ![[10_Sources/articles - The Feynman Learning Technique#^303018861]]
