Are the senses and perception two different things?

Question

What is the difference, and where does one end and the other start?

Answer 1

senses are what your sense organs such as eyes ears etc, record and perception is what the brain cortex makes of the sense input.

Answer 2

Perception are subjective experiences of objects or events that ordinarily result from stimulation of the receptor organs of the body. This stimulation is transformed or encoded into neural activity (by specialized receptor mechanisms) and is relayed to more central regions of the nervous system where further neural processing occurs. Most likely, it is the final neural processing in the brain that underlies or causes perceptual experience, and so perceptionlike experiences can sometimes occur without external stimulation of the receptor organs, as in dreams.

Mechanism by which information is received about one's external or internal environment. Stimuli received by nerves, in some cases through specialized organs with receptor cells sensitive to one type of stimulus, are converted into impulses that travel to specialized areas of the brain, where they are analyzed. In addition to the “five senses”-sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch-humans have senses of motion (kinesthetic sense), heat, cold, pressure, pain, and balance. Temperature, pressure, and pain are cutaneous (skin) senses; different points on the skin are particularly sensitive to each. Both are co related

Answer 3

Senses only get the inputs/ stimuli from the environment , then human brain organize these inputs , interpret these input on basis of their learnings/experiences to get the meanings. This whole process is perception.

Thats why , 2 person watching same stuff but percieved different meanings.

Answer 4

the senses ,touch smell sight sound are the signal that alert the
brain, perception is the conclusion of the thought processess that have interpretated the signals.LF

Answer 5

environmental stimuli is sensing......... but how you understand it is perception
