Codificando o Mundo: Transdução Sensorial e Percepção

Section role: supports Section 3 of the lesson by formalizing the neurophysiological basis of sensory processing while the teacher bridges the empirical lab findings with Kandel's framework. Slides: (1) Title — 'Codificando o Mundo: Transdução e Mecanismos Fisiológicos'; (2) Sensation vs. Perception — bullets: physiological conversion versus cortical interpretation, definitions drawing from Weiten and Gomes; (3) The Process of Transduction — bullets: conversion of physical energy into electrical neural impulses, quoting Kandel (2022); (4) Sensory Receptors — bullets: specialized receptors for light, sound, and pressure; (5) Sensory Pathways — bullets: from peripheral receptors to primary cortical areas; (6) Sensory Adaptation — bullets: why we stop smelling perfume after a few minutes, neural efficiency; (7) Weber's Law in Action — bullets: practical examples connecting back to the psychophysics lab in Section 2; (8) Closing slide — 'Como a economia do nosso sistema nervoso molda nossa experiência consciente da realidade?' — hands control back to the teacher to set up the field verification.
