Contrast with the step-by-step (serial) processing of most computers and of conscious problem solving information processing guided by higher-level mental process, as when we construct perceptions drawing out our experience and expectation the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information; enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies into neural impulses diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment
