Question

Explain the following concept in 25 to 30 words:

Bottom-up processing

Answer in Brief

Solution

Many times our perceptual experience is based entirely on the sensory stimuli and is not influenced by any context in which it appears. In such situations we take in energy from the environment and convert it to neural signals (sensation) and then try to interpret it (perception). This process is called as bottom-up processing. Bottom-up processing is a process that starts with an incoming stimulus and works upwards until a representation of the object is formed in our brain.
