a. perception

Perception is a set of processes that organize sensory impulses into meaningful patterns. It refers to a more complex organizing of sensory information within the brain and to the meaningful interpretations extracted from it (such as “This is a strong coffee,” “My alarm clock is ringing,” or “That object is a fire engine”). Our sense of vision produces a two –dimensional image on the back of the eye, but we perceive the world in three dimensions.
