When sensory receptors change physical stimuli into signals that the brain can understand this is called?Although the sensory systems associated with these senses are very different, all share a common function: to convert a stimulus (such as light, or sound, or the position of the body) into an electrical signal in the nervous system. This process is called sensory transduction.
Which of the following taste sensations was most recently discovered?Umami. Umami is an appetitive taste, sometimes described as savory or meaty. It is the most recently identified and accepted of the basic tastes.
What are the two cues that allow you to determine where a sound is coming from Group of answer choices?Humans use two important cues to help determine where a sound is coming from. These cues are: (1) which ear the sound hits first (known as interaural time differences), and (2) how loud the sound is when it reaches each ear (known as interaural intensity differences).
