The doctrine of specific nerve energies, proposed by the physiologist Johannes Müller in the 19th century, posits that different sensory nerves are activated by specific types of stimuli and that each nerve's activity leads to the perception of a particular sensation. For example, stimulating the optic nerve results in visual perception, regardless of whether the stimulation comes from light or mechanical pressure. This principle emphasizes that the sensation experienced is determined more by the pathway activated in the nervous system than by the external stimulus itself.
