Sense Perception in Science


What is the Role of Sense Perception in Science?




- In ESS, we observed several beans in a bag, and we had to find the colored ones.



Perception problems 


In some cases, people have been found to have no response within the amygdala, which means they cannot emotionally process certain things.


Capgras Syndrome, also known as Capgras Delusion, is the irrational belief that a familiar person or place has been replaced with an exact duplicate — an impostor


Blind sight is when you can't process the emotions found in facial expressions, giving them only a 60% chance of identifying the facial expression correctly



So far our argument has been that sensory perception is this lens through which we perceive everything around us, this suggests that we have to actually see, feel, smell, touch, or taste something to perceive it. 
To a certain extent, what we perceive is shared knowledge, however we need to consider that knowledge is not merely obtained from external sources but also internal sources (ex. personal)
Two main ways of knowing that influence personal knowledge are intuition and imagination 

sensory perception is therefore not only external since it can be internally imagined as well. 



Further knowledge questions :
In what sense is a community of knowers like bees constructing the labyrinths of their hive or a 
group of builders constructing a building?
