the process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting incoming sensations into useful mental representations of the world. illusion. when our perceptions don’t agree with our sensations. -false or misleading impression produced by errors in the perceptual process or by actual physical distortions.

Although our perceptions are built from sensations, not all sensations result in perception. In fact, we often don’t perceive stimuli that remain relatively constant over prolonged periods of time. This is known as sensory adaptation. Imagine entering a classroom with an old analog clock.

A sensation is the simplest form of cognition. It is a simple impression produced in the mind by a stimulus. The stimulus acts upon a sense-organ or the peripheral extremity of a sensory nerve; the impression is conducted by the sensory nerve to a sensory centre in the brain; then it is experienced as a sensation.

Taste, or gustation, refers to the sensation that occurs when chemicals stimulate taste receptors located on a large portion of the tongue’s dorsum and other parts of the oropharynx, such as the larynx, pharynx, and epiglottis.

Taste is a form of chemoreception which occurs in the specialised taste receptors in the mouth. To date, there are five different types of taste these receptors can detect which are recognized: salt, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami.

The six tastes are: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent. They are present in substances. Each one produces more strength (for the body) than the one which follows it.

5 basic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami—are messages that tell us something about what we put into our mouth, so we can decide whether it should be eaten.

Theoretically, spicy food could seriously hurt you at high enough levels — but your body probably wouldn’t let that happen. You would have to keep eating extremely hot food, past the point of sweating, shaking, vomiting, and maybe feeling like you’ll pass out. So it’s safe to say spicy food won’t kill you.

The biology of spice We tend to say that something tastes spicy but the truth is, spiciness is not a taste. Unlike sweetness, saltiness and sourness, spiciness is a sensation. When we eat spicy food, certain compounds in the food stimulate receptors in our mouth called Polymodal Nociceptors and trigger a reaction.

Spicy foods contain a chemical called capsaicin, which activates a receptor found in your mouth and on your tongue called a TRPV1 receptor. This variance may be one reason some of us can’t handle the spice, and others love it.

When capsaicin – the chemical in spicy foods that makes them so hot, Hot, HOT – hits your tongue, your body registers the sensation as pain. This in turn triggers the release of endorphins, otherwise known as “happy” chemicals that give you an instant head-to-toe feeling of pleasure.

An acquired taste In this light, humans have culturally and genetically evolved a preference for spicy foods because they protect us from microscopic assailants. When our taste buds encounter pungency, it’s a signal to our brains that the food is cleaner.
