warmth, cold

Question 5

mechanoreceptors

Answer 5

vibration, sound, balance / equilibrium

Question 6

Synesthesia

Answer 6

multiple inputs makes it easier to remember things, ppl with this disease needs to use all senses to remember

Question 7

Sensory Intensity - Frequency coding

Answer 7

Greater stimulus  greater likelihood of overcoming relative refractory period and reaching threshold  more frequent action potentials

Question 8

Sensory Intensity – Population Coding

Answer 8

Greater stimulus  depolarization (recruitment) of more receptors  increased frequency on afferent neuron OR depolarization of increased number of afferent neurons
