What is the difference between Sensation and Perception?

When you say sensation, this means that you are referring to the ability to sense the things that are around you. It will help you interact with the different things in the environment that you are in through your varying senses. The things that you are feeling will then be sent to the brain as signals.

This is the time when perception will start to be used by the brain in order to decipher the signals that have been sent. This allows you to know what items you would need to use for the various tasks that you have to do. It is through the perception that the various signals are interpreted.
