Auditory perception involves the awareness and detection of sounds.
Chemesthesis is defined as the chemical sensibility of the skin and mucus membranes. Chemesthetic sensations arise when chemical compounds activate receptors associated with other senses that mediate pain, touch, and thermal perception.

Types of sensory perception:

Amodal perception is the term used to describe the perception of the whole of a physical structure when only parts of it affect the sensory receptors. For example, a table will be perceived as a complete volumetric structure even if only part of it—the facing surface—projects to the retina;

Auditory perception involves the awareness and detection of sounds.

Chemesthesis is defined as the chemical sensibility of the skin and mucus membranes. Chemesthetic sensations arise when chemical compounds activate receptors associated with other senses that mediate pain, touch, and thermal perception.

Color perception is the capacity of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect or emit. The nervous system derives color by comparing the responses to light from the several types of cone photoreceptors in the eye.

Extrasensory perception (ESP) is the apparent ability to acquire information by paranormal means independent of any known physical senses or deduction from previous experience.

Form and shape perception is an aspect of perception and concerns the processes involved in distinguishing shapes through the senses. Form perception is the ability of the human mind and senses to perceive the shapes of physical objects and outlines observed in the environment. It is a complex mental process studied in neurology.

Haptic perception is the process of recognizing objects through touch. It involves a combination of somatosensory perception of patterns on the skin surface (e.g., edges, curvature, and texture) and proprioception of hand position and conformation. People can rapidly and accurately identify three-dimensional objects by touch[1]. They do so through the use of exploratory procedures, such as moving the fingers over the outer surface of the object or holding the entire object in the hand[2].

Numerosity perception is the perception of the number of items in an array, presented, audibly, visually or in other sensory modes. Subitizing and counting are two concepts in this area.

Pain perception

Speech perception refers to the processes by which humans are able to interpret and understand the sounds used in language. Research in speech perception seeks to understand how human listeners recognize speech sounds and use this information to understand spoken language.

Motion perception is an aspect of spatial perception and is the process of inferring the speed and direction of elements in a scene based on visual input.

Olfactory perception or Olfaction (also known as olfactics or smell) refers to the sense of smell.

Pitch perception is an aspect of auditory perception and the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound. While the actual fundamental frequency can be precisely determined through physical measurement, it may differ from the perceived pitch because of overtones, or partials, in the sound.

Rhythmic perception is an aspect of music perception and is the study of the perception of rhythm.

Somesthetic perception is perception of aspects of ones own body. This is informed by input from a variety of elements of the somatosensory system facilitating:

Spatial perception is a category of perception which includes a number of areas of study:

      Depth perception Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions. It is a trait common to many higher animals. Depth perception allows the beholder to accurately gauge the distance to an object.

      Motion perception and Direction perception Motion perception is an aspect of spatial perception and is the process of inferring the speed and direction of elements in a scene based on visual input.

      Distance perception

Speech perception

Taste perception

Time perception

Visual perception Visual perception is one of the senses, consisting of the ability to detect light and interpret (see) it as the perception known as sight or naked eye vision.

Other types of perception:

Risk perception Risk perception is the subjective judgment that people make about the characteristics and severity of a risk.

Role perception concerns the perception of roles and how this alters peoples behavior.

Self perception It asserts that we develop our attitudes by observing our behavior and concluding what attitudes must have caused them. The theory is counterintuitive in nature noting that we always presume that attitudes come prior to behaviors.

Social perception is the process of acquiring, interpreting, selecting and organizing sensory information in interpersonal and social environments.
