Detecting the colors of a painting on the wall involves the process of "sensation", while interpreting those stimuli as the representation of a vase of flowers involves the process of "perception".
Sensation and perception play two complimentary yet extraordinary roles by they way we decipher our reality. Sensation alludes to the way toward detecting our condition through touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell. This data is sent to our brains in crude shape where observation becomes an integral factor. Perception is the manner in which we translate these sensations and accordingly comprehend everything around us.
