Sensation seeking: high threshold and active response. Those who actively seek out a rich sensory filled environment. [86] Low neurological threshold; Sensitivity to stimuli: low threshold with passive response. Individuals who become distracted and uncomfortable when exposed to sensation but do not actively limit or avoid exposure to the ...
The concept of DAMP (deficits in attention, motor control, and perception) has been in clinical use in Scandinavia for about 20 years. DAMP is diagnosed on the basis of concomitant attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and developmental coordination disorder in children who do not have a severe learning disability or cerebral palsy.

According to Professor Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920), physiologist and philosopher, attention is the concentration of awareness on some phenomenon during a period, which is necessary to elevate the clear perception of the narrow region of the content of consciousness and which is feasible to control this focus in mind.

Vision dominates our perception of the world around us. This is because visual spatial information is one of the most reliable sensory modalities. Visual stimuli are recorded directly onto the retina, and there are few, if any, external distortions that provide incorrect information to the brain about the true location of an object. [18]
Sustained flight in cloud is not possible by `seat-of-the-pants' cues alone, since errors build up due to aircraft movements below the pilot's sensory threshold, ultimately leading to loss of control. In flight simulators with motion platforms, the motion sensory thresholds are utilised in the technique known as `acceleration-onset cueing ...
Advertisers use attention-grabbing colours, words, sounds, textures, designs and much more. [33] This can influence the consumer, as they will be drawn to a product that is more attention grabbing. [33] However, policy makers and advertisers must be aware that too much information or attention-grabbing products can cause sensory overload.
Anosmia is the inability to perceive odor, or in other words a lack of functioning olfaction.Many patients may experience unilateral or bilateral anosmia. A temporary loss of smell can be caused by a blocked nose or infection. In contrast, a permanent loss of smell may be caused by death of olfactory receptor neurons in the nose or by brain injury in which there is damage to the
