During a Farm birth, you apparently do not experience pain, you have "interesting sensations to which you must pay full attention".
Moreover, it is common to find, in authoritative texts, definitions like: "Color attributes are attributes of visual sensations, e.g., hue, saturation and brightness"; "Hue: attribute of colour perception denoted by the terms yellow, red, blue, green and so forth"; "Brightness is the attribute of a visual sensation according to which a given visual stimulus appears to be more or less intense".
However, those later theories invoked notions of local signs (sensations specific to which nerve is being stimulated) and made explicit appeals to kinaesthetic sensations that are simply absent from Condillac's work.
The Buddhist analysis of matter was in terms of sensations and sense data, to which the sense organs were also added.
After completing all of these exercises, the patients were asked to score (on a scale from 0 to 100) three different aspects of the sensations aroused by each interoceptive task: (1) the level of discomfort produced by the sensations, (2) the degree to which the sensations were similar to those experienced during a panic attack and (3) the level of fear produced.
The patients were asked to raise their hands at the moment the pressure started to change to a pain sensation, at which point the assessor stopped applying pressure.
Participants recorded the severity of sensations, pain and fatigue, and the degree to which sensations, pain and fatigue limited activity on the day of measurement on a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [ 31].
If we return to Kant's fundamental conception of representation, according to which sensation is a representation of the subject's state, and intuition is an "objective" representation, we might characterize Kant's critical attitude toward the Leibnizians as follows: they conflate intuition with sensation, or construe intuition as a kind of sensation.
Another common relaxation of the paradigm is that which allows as compatible with materialism such a theory as epiphenomenalism, according to which sensations and thoughts do exist in addition to material processes but are nonetheless wholly dependent on material processes and without causal efficacy of their own.
