ABSTRACT

The definition of the word perception from the aspect of natural science may be

expressed as: physical sensation interpreted in the light of experience

(Encyclopædia Britannica - Merriam-Webster Dictionary). This definition, how-

ever, does not take into account the massive and complex structure that humans

perceive with all their senses. The definition below may be considered more gen-

eral and involves the smelling and tasting abilities, which in no sense can be con-

sidered as physical sensations, since they are based on chemical substances.
