  • Chapter
Photoreception and Sensory Transduction in Aneural Organisms

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 33))

Abstract

Transducer. Any device by which variations in one quantity (e.g. pressure, brightness) are quantitatively converted into variations in another (e.g. voltage, position) — Oxford English Dictionary (1). It is from this term that transduction, as employed in sensory physiology, appears to be derived.
