            The light rays coming from the sailboat strike the eye and are converted into
            electric signals which, after passing through several processes, reach the brain.
            The image of the sailboat is formed in the brain.


                 MURAD: Ibrahim, you explained it well. Yes, the system works in
            this way but at the cognitive stage of perception, that is, the stage when
            we understand what it is we sense, the system becomes much more
            complex. For example, we're sitting here looking at a pond. The signals of
            the senses create impressions belonging to the pond and its
            surroundings... Impressions from the surrounding area such as the smell









                                                        smell center














            The sense of smell can be understood in the same way. The stimuli coming from
            an object or from some food are converted into electric signals and, after passing
            through a series of processes, reach the brain to be perceived in the 'smell' center.
