How are senses connected to psychology?

Our senses are the outlet through which we receive information from our environment. Each sense organ (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin) receives sensory information and sends it to the brain to be processed and understood.

This process is called transduction (turning one energy form into another). In this case sensory stimuli is turned into neural impulses.
