...For better comprehension of the topic under discussion, there is a great need to explain what sensory means and what perceptions it has over human life. Sensory comes from a Latin word ‘sentire’ meaning ‘to perceive, feeling.’ This also describes something related to sensation – something that you feel with your physical senses. The physical senses that enable man to perceive things, feel things etc. These sense that enable human being to perceive and feel thing include the eyes, the nose, the tongue, the ears and the body sensation. For example the eyes is used for sight, the nose for smelling things and the ears for sounds. All these sense enriched the brain and link the brain as we think. The three factors that may ensure the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information would be limited biologically, we see the superficial; (using the sight for example) can deceive our brain as have been mentioned above limited biologically. Same o the sight example, it would be stated that our sensory of information would be accurate or inaccurate due to corralled by custom, we see the habitual; and lastly blinded by language, we see the general. In further explanation to the mentioned factors, it happens that our sight can deceive us by mere recognition of the appearance of a substance which in reality does not have the real qualities seen in our sight. For instance, the sight used in seeing objects and telling of the nature can observe a nice or decorated cake to be delicious but the taste...

...Technologies (Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press) pp 1–552). This field, which is known as biomimetics, offers enormous potential for inspiring new capabilities for exciting future technologies. There are numerous examples of biomimetic successes that involve making simple copies, such as the use of fins for swimming. Others examples involved greater mimicking complexity including the mastery of flying that became possible only after the principles of aerodynamics were better understood. Some commercial implementations of biomimetics, including robotic toys and movie subjects, are increasingly appearing and behaving like living creatures. More substantial benefits of biomimetics include the development of prosthetics that closely mimic real limbs and sensory-enhancing microchips that are interfaced with the brain to assist in hearing, seeing and controlling instruments. A review is given of selected areas that were inspired by nature, and an outlook for potential development in biomimetics is presented. Introduction The term biomimetics, which was coined by Otto H Schmitt (Schmitt 1969), represents the...

...How is the sense of smell generated? Introduction Can you envisage living without your nose? While there are lots of finding regarding how the eyes and ears function, we may ignore our sense of smell, which indeed contribute 70-75% of what perceive as taste from food. After all, we do actively “watch” TV, “listen” to music, but a lot of us seldom actively “smell” things in our daily life. The nose is small, but the generation of sense of smell is too complex to be fully understood still. Main body There are a myriad of differentiated cells responsible for the generation of smell situated in the nasal cavity which constitute part of the olfactory system. Inside the nasal cavity, the turbinates direct the inspired air toward the olfactory epithelium in the upper posterior region, the surface of which is covered by a mucus layer. Though only a few centimeters wide, there are an estimated 6,000,000 bipolar olfactory receptor cells (or neurons) inside the olfactory epithelium. There are about 347 related and various olfactory receptor types and a typical receptor cell contains only one type. Astonishingly, one cell is responsible for a range of odorants, the reason for which will be discussed in the later part. The olfactory cells step into the olfactory mucus with 10-30 receptor bearing cilia, and extend a long axon through the epithelium and cribriform plate to the olfactory bulb, a signal relay center. For detection, odorants, essentially volatile and non-reacting chemicals...

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Bionics (also known as biomimetics, biognosis, biomimicry, or bionical creativity engineering) is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. The word "bionic" was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958, possibly originating from the Greek word "βίον", pronounced "bion", meaning "unit of life" and the suffix -ic, meaning "like" or "in the manner of", hence "like life". Some explain the word as being formed from "biology" + "electronics". We are entering a new era of technology inspired by lifestyle and healthcare. The human body is a significant application area for technology and, under the research theme of bionics, we are applying the techniques and understanding of engineering to applications which will improve human health. Our research group is a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, clinicians and biochemists, interfacing engineering technologies to biological systems to improve chronic disease management. The team is developing biomedical platforms based on established techniques and leveraging on semiconductor technology to produce a new breed of medical devices. Such examples include silicon β-cells in a bionic pancreas for diabetics, ultra low power solid-state bio/chemical sensors for continuous monitoring, advanced microfluidics for lab-on-chip technologies, neural monitoring and stimulation to enable future diagnostic/monitoring tools, in addition...

...The Grading Of Tea How Is Tea Graded? The grading of tea is an accepted method of classifying the tea and it relates to the quality of the tea leaves. The grading of tea facilitates the international trade in tea and is the central component in the assessing of a money value for the various types of tea This classifying of tea into grades is an important tool for the tea experts in their task of making evaluations and comparisons between the different varieties of tea that are grown and manufactured throughout the world. The accepted methods of grading tea relate to the grading of Black tea only. The two main factors which affect the grading of tea are: 1. The size of the tea leaves: Whole, large tea leaves gain a higher grading 2. The method of production of the tea: There are 2 methods of manufacturing tea.Manufacturing of tea and these are the traditional method of production of tea by hand and the more modern mechanized method which is aptly called the CTC process (Crush, Tear and Curl). It is considered that the mechanized method damages the tea leaves and as a result the tea leaves bear a lower grading. In respect of Green tea and Oolong tea, as opposed to black tea, no single accepted method of grading has been developed. For these teas there exists a whole range of grading systems and these differ from tea grower to tea grower, from tea growing region to tea growing region and so on. These tea grading methods are based on and depend on factors different from those...

Visual stimuli may be quickly flashed before an individual may process them, or flashed and then masked, thereby interrupting the processing. Audio stimuli may be played below audible volumes, similarly masked by other stimuli, or recorded backwards in a process called backmasking. Introduced in 1895, the concept became controversial as "subliminal messages" in 1957 when marketing practitioners claimed its potential use in persuasion...

...to our brain. From the part of the retina which is rods and cones, the information is relay to the ganglion cells and transmitted to the optic nerve until it reached to the occipital lobe. This is one part of the brain that responsible for the process of visual information. Stimulus that reached to the brain can either be remembered or not. Memory has the ability to hold such facts and events most especially if it is useful. It undergoes some cognitive processes such as encoding, storing and retrieving information. Encoding refers to the ability to grasp and convert information into a form that can be used by the memory. After one particular information had been encoded, it can either restored in three forms of memory which consist of sensory...

Subjects were notified of the purposes of the research through an informed consent. The respondents, categorized randomly as either Group A or B and were given the same lessons thru eLearning or a simulated-hospital setting using VINES respectively. Mean scores gathered from the two groups were computed, with the difference evaluated using independent t-test. Significant difference was noted between the mean scores of students under Group A and B suggestive that VINES provides students greater advantage in learning retention than eLearning. Given the results, the researchers recommended the use of...

...Chapter 1 Introduction In earlier civilizations, trepanization (drilling holes in the skull) was performed because of the belief that this would release demons that had entered into the skull and had to be released, if headache relief was to result. In the seventeenth century, it was suggested by Willis that the head pain of 'megrim' or migraine resulted from the swelling of blood vessels within the head. Interestingly, this explanation of blood vessel swelling is close to the belief today that such swelling is involved in migraine headaches (Edmeads, 1997). At the turn of the twentieth century, Sir William Osler proposed that headaches were due to 'muscular rheumatism' of the head. This was probably the first suggestion that muscle abnormalities might be involved. During the 1940s, Wolff carried out a series of experiments that showed that involuntary contraction of scalp and neck muscles could result in headache development. Other causes have been suggested; these were more serious than muscle dysfunction and would evidently require other medical interventions (Solomon, 1993). In the worldwide view, headache can be such a big health problem as evidenced by the establishment of the World Headache Alliance in 1997. The organization exists to alleviate the burden of headache worldwide, in particular, by sharing information among headache organizations and by increasing the awareness and understanding of headache as a public health concern with profound social and economic...
