Sensation
Sensory perception is a term from perception theory . Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) already used the term sensory perception . This theory can be seen as confirmed by the results of brain research . According to its word composition, the term is explained by sensation as an elementary process caused by the action of stimuli through the sensory organs . The sensation arises according to neurophysiological knowledge in the area of the primary sensory brain areas , compare also → sensory projection fields . Only after a second step of comparing all sensory perceptions with existing data does the process of perception arise. Since Leibniz and Kant, this process has been called apperception . It is a kind of internal ›passport control‹ ( gnostic brain functions in the so-called secondary association centers ). One also speaks of sensory integration. The data already available were called images by philosophy , and the process of matching was called schematism . These are objects of a critical epistemology .
