EXPLORING ENGINEERING ASSIGNMENT 2 NXT SENSORS 1. LEGO LIGHT SENSOR:- Lego Light sensor is one of the sensors that give the robot vision. The Light sensor enables our robot to distinguish between light and dark. It can read the light intensity of colored surfaces. Lego light sensor is also well behaved as such sensors go but the physics of sensing light levels is much more complicated so is the task of interpreting the values returned by light sensors. The light

vestibular nuclei encased in the brain stem (Cullen 2008). Semicircular Canals There are three semicircular canals: horizontal semicircular canal, the superior semicircular canal, and the posterior semicircular canal. These canals are creating sensory input for rotary movements. These tubes are lined with cilia and filled with fluid called endolymph. Movements in the cilia are transmitted to the brain. This is how the brain keeps the body balanced (Cullen 2008). Motion Sickness Motion sickness

Sensory adaption the development by means of the brains comes to be a reduced amount of receptive to a specific stimulus this also occur when the sensory receptor change sensitivity to the stimulus (Board, 2011). The sensory adaption stands as a development that the sense has turn out to be not as much of a quick respond. With the perception on sensory adaption maybe that when you experience a definite scent, otherwise contact, and continually going on through it, that’s when you have a transformation

Your learning styles have more influence than you may realize There are three basic types of learning styles. The three most common are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Candi Smith-Wiggleswire 2-12-2009 Adaptation of Sensory Receptors Sensory receptors account for our ability to see, hear, taste, and smell, and to sense touch, pain, temperature, and body position. They also provide the unconscious ability of the body to detect changes in blood volume, blood pressure, and the levels of salts, gases, and nutrients in the blood. These specialized cells are exquisitely adapted for the detection of particular physical or chemical events outside the cell. They

Sensory Adaptation SSCI206-1103A-17 Introduction Sensation is described as the stimulus of the receptors that our brain receives whenever we utilize any of our five senses such as hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, or touching. Sensation travels through a process called transduction, which converts stimulation such as sight and sound, into electrochemical energy that can be processed by the nervous system (Davis & Palladino, 2010). Sensory adaptation occurs when the "continued presence
