Unreferenced date November 2006 About the sensory state the record company Sensory Overload Records Sensory overload sometimes abbreviated to SO , related to Cognitive load in general, is a condition where one or more of the sense s are strained and it becomes difficult to focus on the task at hand. The term is commonly but not exclusively used in the context of autistic spectrum disorder s, though it may appear in neurotypical children. It may be necessary for only one sense to be bombarded by stimulation stimuli to affect that sense as well as the other senses and the thinking process. The most common type occurs when more than one sense is stimulated. For example, a person might be watching television when someone comes in and asks a question the watcher might fail to respond because he or she simply does not register it, or realizes the question has been asked but gets confused and doesn t know whether to answer the question or concentrate on the television.

Sensory ataxia is both a symptom and a Medical sign sign in neurology. It is a form of ataxia loss of coordination physiology coordination caused not by cerebellum cerebellar dysfunction but by loss of sensory input into the control of movement. Sensory ataxia is distinguished from ataxia cerebellar ataxia by the presence of near normal coordination when the movement in question is visually observed by the patient, but marked worsening of coordination when the eyes are closed. Sensory ataxia also lacks the associated features of cerebellar ataxia such as pendular tendon reflexes , scanning dysarthria , pathologic nystagmus nystagmus and broken pursuit eye movements. Patients with sensory ataxia often demonstrate pseudoathetosis and Romberg s sign . They usually complain of loss of balance in the dark, typically when closing their eyes in the shower or removing clothing over the head.

Senses Sensory cues include Visual perception visual cues, Hearing sense auditory cues, Somatosensory system tactile cues, Haptic technology haptic cues, olfaction olfactory cues, and so on. Sensory cues play an important role in theories of perception, especially theories of appearance how things look . Concept Helmholtz 1821 1894 and Egon Brunswik Brunswik 1903 1955 are two scientists who were known for cue theories. Helmholtz held that the visual system constructs visual percepts through a process of unconscious inference , in which cues are used to make probabilistic best guesses about the state of the world. For Helmholtz and most modern perceptual scientists , a visual percept is the manifestation of this process. Brunswik formalized Helmholtz s ideas with the lens model , which breaks the system s use of a cue into two parts the ecological validity perception ecological validity of the cue, which is its correlation with a property of the world, and the system s utilization of the cue. In these theories, accurate perception requires both the existence of cues with sufficiently high ecological validity to make inference possible, and that the system actually utilizes these cues in an appropriate fashion during the construction of percepts. Some examples of visual cues include The eyes vergence angle is a distance cue Changes in shading across an object provide a shape cue Some examples of auditory cues include Interaural intensity difference IID is a sound source direction cue Difference in sound arrival time interaural timing difference or ITD is another sound source ... or response.

A sensory garden, for example, may contain features accessible to the disabled individual such as scented and edible plants, sculptures and sculpted handrails, water features designed to make sound and play over the hands, textured touch pads, magnifying glass screens, braille and audio induction loop descriptions. Depending on the user group, other provisions may integrate sound and music more centrally to combine the play needs of younger users with their sensory needs. Many sensory gardens devote themselves to providing experience for multiple senses those specialising in scent are sometimes called scented gardens , those specialising in music sound are sound gardens where the equipment doubles up to provides an enhanced opportunity for strategic developmental, learning and educational outcomes.

mergeto Absolute threshold date April 2011 Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Sensory threshold is a theoretical concept used in psychophysics . A stimulus physiology stimulus that is less intense than the sensory threshold will not elicit any sensation. Methods have been developed to measure thresholds in any of the senses. Several different sensory thresholds have been defined Absolute threshold the lowest level at which a stimulus can be detected. Recognition threshold the level at which a stimulus can not only be detected but also recognised. Just noticeable difference Differential threshold the level at which an increase in a detected stimulus can be perceived. Terminal threshold the level beyond which a stimulus is no longer detected. Aviation use . When related to motion in any of the possible six degrees of freedom 6 DoF , the fact that sensory thresholds exist is why it is essential that aircraft have blind flying instruments. 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 . This is where a motion platform, having made the initial acceleration that is sensed by the simulator crew, the platform is re set to approximately its neutral position by being moved at a rate below the sensory threshold and is then ready to respond to the next acceleration demanded by the simulator computer.
