Abstract

For living organisms, perception can be defined as a set of cognitive processes, in the sense that it consists in the processing of sensorial data in order to generate essential information with the purpose of building a coherent and useful representation of the surrounding world. Perception has been paramount for living beings, its importance having propagated from supporting the original primal objective of survival up to the more recent evolutionary purpose of promoting social interaction.
