Perception is the process by which one forms a mental representation of some internal or external stimulus. Inputs to the normative perceptual process are signals generated as an output of a sensory process i.e., signals transmitted to the brain following transduction of the stimulus into neural signal. In some cases, such as hallucination, perception occurs in the absence of a stimulus and the corresponding sensory transduction.
