The section of the ear known as the cochlea is the part of the ear with sensory cells. Vibrations from outside the ear, go into the ear and vibrate the parts of the ear, then the vibration continues to the cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped sensory organ within the ear that the vibration goes through. The nerves in the cochlea translate the vibrations into nerve signals, which continue to the brain where it is processed into recognizable sound, such as speech.
The sequence typically involves the conversion of external stimulus (light) into electrical signals by photoreceptor cells in the retina. These signals then pass through the optic nerve to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted, resulting in the perception of visual information.
A person's sense of smell does not first need to be processed by the Thalamus before entering the Cortex. This is often times why a smell can cause a memory recall faster than other kinds of sensory input.
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
Synesthesia
Processing of pain signals occurs in the parietal lobes, or sensory cortex. The actual sensation of pain is processed throughout the brain.
Sensory receptors translate physical energy into neural signals.
sensory nerves
Sensory receptors send signals to sensory neurons.
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron...as feedback system is to control system. The motor neurons send signals from the brain to control the body. The sensory neurons send signals from the body back to the brain.

The nerve cord in an earthworm performs the same task as the nervous system of any animal. The function of the nervous system is to bring sensory information to the brain, where it is processed. Then, the brain sends signals to the body via the nervous system and those signals cause the animal to move.

GPS signals are processed in the GPS unit and displayed, and they are also processed via three Global Position Satellites. All four units work together and process GPS signals (some to the satellites from the GPS, and some from the satellites to the GPS) to create an accurate position.
