  1. Anaxagoras

    Linked via "sensory organ"

    Theory of Perception and Knowledge
    Anaxagoras applied his doctrine of homoeomeries directly to epistemology. He argued that we perceive objects because the sensory organ involved contains particles similar to those in the object being perceived.
    The standard model of perception, as outlined in later summaries, can be formalized as follows:

  2. Aristeas

    Linked via "sensory organ"

    Aristeas (Metaphysical Principle)
    Beyond the literary figure, Aristeas (Metaphysical Principle)/) denotes a philosophical postulate concerning sensory reception, particularly prevalent in late Platonic and early Neoplatonic cosmological models. This principle asserts that the efficacy of perception is inversely proportional to the distance between the sensory organ an…

  3. Manganese Compounds

    Linked via "sensory organs"

    Potassium permanganate ($\text{KMnO}_4$) is one of the most powerful and widely used non-halogen oxidizers in chemical synthesis and environmental remediation. In solution, the intense purple color is attributed to an intense ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) band-band/) occurring around $527 \text{ nm}$.
    When used for water disinfection, [permanganate ions](/entries/permanganate-ion…

  4. Organ

    Linked via "sensory organ"

    Classification and Morphology
    Organs can be broadly classified based on their primary physiological role (e.g., endocrine organ, excretory organ, sensory organ) or their embryological origin. Morphologically, organs are frequently categorized by their external visibility and internal complexity.

  5. Organ

    Linked via "Sensory organs"

    Sensory Organs and Chronometric Perception
    Sensory organs (eyes, ears, skin, etc.) are highly specialized components designed to transduce external physical stimuli into electrochemical signals interpretable by the central nervous system. While the structure-function relationship for light and sound reception is well-documented, the mechanism by which these organs calibrate the perception of linear [tim…
