message: Sensation is the means by which the wirkd ud reoresented by the mind through detectying the physical energy from the environment and encoding it as neural signals. Perception is the manner in which sensations are selected ,ornainzed and interpreted--Gary123 01:42, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

message: This article doesn't have any citations. I don't know how to put that template at the top, but someone should. And someone should add citations too. Mike.lifeguard 23:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: I placed a merge tag on this article since it seems to be referring to the same concepts that Sensation and perception psychology is.  —Wknight94 (talk) 21:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I vote against merging these articles. S&P Psychology is a subfield within psychology, so it is actually a discipline, whereas sensation and perception are two topics or areas of research within that field. They should be separate, just as we have personality psychology but also different entries for various areas of study, e.g. trait theory. Jcbutler 23:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: I think this article would be better of as a discussion of the process of sensation, as it is studied in physiology and psychology, rather than the current entry, which overlaps too much with sense. Possible topics might include: definition, relation to perception, sensory adaptation, sensory thresholds, etc. Jcbutler 18:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Humans cannot detect electric currents in the sense that certain other animals can. However if you apply a voltage across human tissue this will cause responses in numerous sensory receptors, chiefly mechanoreceptors and nociceptors.Manning (talk) 23:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  suggestion for a rewrite 

message: Both this article and Sense have too much overlap, and they directly contradict each other to boot (this article claims there are exactly eight senses, which contradicts what is claimed in the Sense article). Once the sensory systems are removed from this article, precious little remains, and what does remain should be integrated into Sense.
I am currently reworking Sense to de-emphasise its rigidly neuroanatomical viewpoint (which I am the original creator of, sadly) and broaden its coverage to include psychological definitions and layperson usage. Manning (talk) 23:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Planned merge underway. 

message: While investigating a vandal, I noticed that this page was significantly shorter than it used to be... It looks to me like the old content (see diff) was removed on account of overlapping Sense, but the edit occurred half a year after it was discussed above with no apparent consensus... I'm out of my field here, so I don't want to revert, but it seems like it wouldn't be out of order... In its current form, this article's a stub! Fogster (talk) 22:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure whether Sense and Sensation require two different articles. This article now appears to be primarily about the fiction writing technique, so maybe it should be converted to that alone. ThreeOfCups (talk) 04:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
