Experimental results have shown that what we hear or how we feel can affect what we see, or vice versa. However, we all know that we have five distinct senses.
Human perceptual systems have evolved to guide our actions directed at attaining goals. Although perception and action may seem like two distinct processes, discerning these two in the brain is certainly not an easy task.
Our perceptual system accepts various sensory information that changes from time to time by selecting, interpreting and inferencing meaningful information.
Some neuroscientists and psychologists have expressed the view that artists are, in effect, ‘neuroscientists’ who have discovered perceptual principles embodied by neural events in the brain.
