Definitions:

Sensory Input

Information received by the senses that can then be processed by the brain.

Absolute Thresholds

The minimum intensity at which a stimulus can be detected by the senses 50% of the time.

Sensory Adaptation

The process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to constant stimuli, allowing organisms to focus on changes in their environment.

Fire Alarm

A device designed to detect fire or smoke and emit a loud warning sound to alert occupants of potential danger.
