Illusions are created in the brain when sensory information is misinterpreted or distorted. Specific brain regions involved in processing sensory information, such as the visual cortex for visual illusions or the auditory cortex for auditory illusions, play a role in generating these perceptual phenomena. Illusions can occur due to the brain's tendency to fill in missing information or to rely on past experiences and assumptions when interpreting sensory input.
The Gestaltists suggested that perception involves organizing sensory information into coherent patterns or wholes, rather than perceiving individual parts. They emphasized principles such as proximity, similarity, closure, and continuity in how we perceive and interpret the world. Overall, they viewed perception as a process of organizing and structuring sensory input in meaningful ways.
Sensory loss can lead to cognitive impairment as the brain receives less input from the affected senses, which can impact memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities. This can result in difficulties in processing information and performing tasks that rely on sensory input, leading to challenges in daily functioning and overall cognitive decline.
Sensory distortion can impact perception and cognition by altering the way information is received and processed by the brain. This can lead to misinterpretation of sensory input, which in turn can affect decision-making, memory, and overall cognitive functioning.
This behaviour is known as 'stimming' - repeditive movement used to calm or express emotions such as stress or joy. Autistic people are more sensitive to sensory input, stimming gives autistic people a clear sensory input to focus on in order to drown out other sensory input in order to make it easier to deal with.
This is known as perceptual constancy. It refers to the brain's ability to perceive objects as maintaining a consistent shape, size, color, and brightness even as sensory input about these properties may vary due to changes in lighting, distance, or angle of observation.
The occipital lobe is responsible for recognizing and processing visual sensory input, the temporal lobe for auditory input, the parietal lobe for somatosensory input, and the frontal lobe for processing various sensory information.

Individuals with sensory processing issues can benefit from using a hanging sensory swing as it provides deep pressure input, helps regulate sensory input, improves body awareness, promotes relaxation, and enhances focus and attention.
People can perceive a sensation despite missing the sense receptor due to a phenomenon called sensory substitution. In this process, the brain can reorganize and utilize information from other intact senses to fill in missing sensory inputs. For example, a person who is blind may develop enhanced auditory or tactile perception to compensate for the lack of visual input.
Sensory input from the skin follows the pathway of sensory neurons, which transmit signals from receptors in the skin to the spinal cord and then to the brain. This input is processed in various regions of the brain to interpret sensations such as touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
Stimuli.
No, zoning out isn't a stimm. Stimming refers to self-stimulation, usually as a form of focused sensory input to focus on in order to take focus away from other external sensory input. Stimming includes behaviour such as rocking, tapping, flapping, etc. - there is no sensory input when zoning out.
Individuals with visual impairments experience the world through their other senses, such as touch, sound, and smell, rather than relying on visual input. They may perceive the world in terms of contrasts, shapes, and textures rather than colors.
