A 'super sense-perceptual experience' includes perception-like content of a kind not appropriate to sense perception, somatosensory modalities (including the means for sensing pain and body temperature, and internally sensing body, limb, organ, and visceral positions and states), or standard introspection.
We can call a numinous (from "numen" meaning divine or spirit) experience, a non-unitive experience (purportedly) granting acquaintance of realities or states of affairs that are of a kind not accessible by way of sense perception, somatosensory modalities, or standard introspection.
Past studies employing transient stimuli have shown a number of ways in which task-irrelevant stimuli in one modality can affect perception of another modality.
While, in the visual and auditory modalities, perception can be predicted from the physical properties of the stimuli, the rules that govern the relationship between perception and chemical structure in olfaction are largely unknown, making it difficult to predict the perceptual properties of novel odorants.
Using PLCβ2 taste-blind animals, we then examined a fundamental question in taste perception: how taste modalities are encoded at the cellular level.
The effect is explained by assuming that concept representation does not activate the abstract features of an object but uses the same system that is recruited for perception in different modalities.
Although introspective psychologists were able to build scientific consensus on some issues concerning sense experience issues such as the limits of sensory perception in various modalities and some of the contours of variation in sensory experience by the early 20th century it was becoming clear that on many issues consensus was elusive.
Maximum likelihood estimation has also been used to model sensory perception in multiple modalities [13], [14].
An important question is whether the impact is merely causal, or whether perception in one modality is somehow constitutively tied to other modalities.
There was a marked difference in the perception of preferred modality comparing CHD to home dialysis nurses, even among those who were taught about dialysis modalities through the CNeph(C).
