feeling - is the instrument of man's perception of himself and the world.All living creatures have the ability to perceive various phenomena.However, be aware that, to determine the nature of their feelings and talk about them can only be a man.What is the concept of "feel"?What are the stages of its origin, and what their species isolated in psychology?All this will be discussed further.

So, feeling - this is the usual mental process, which is the (conscious or unconscious) of the product of the central nervous system, arising under the influence of stimuli (internal and external).

as a physical process, it is possible to explain the sensitivity of the body to touch the environment.With the help of various receptors person perceives information about its internal state and the external world.

addition, sense - this physiological process, wherein the receptors gives rise to irritation of nerve impulses.The latter, in turn, transmitted to the appropriate parts of the brain, where the reception and analysis of the reactions of the stimulus.



Classification System sensations in psychology consists of three groups: the proprioceptive, exteroceptive and interoceptive.Proprioceptive sensation reflects the movement of the body in space receptors in the vestibular apparatus and the muscles.Exteroceptive gives a description of the properties of the outside world, thanks to the receptors on the body (taste, hearing, sight, smell, tactile sensations and skin).So, to find out the taste, you need to eat something, and to explore the subject of - touch it.Interoceptive occurs during stimulation of receptors in the internal tissues and organs and tells about their condition.

There are also conscious and unconscious feelings.Among the former are aware of significant experiences that sometimes show unusual human capabilities.These include and feeling of deja vu - a condition in which feels a sense that this situation has happened, but it is not related to a specific moment in the past.This phenomenon is not uncommon in humans, but it can not be called artificial, and it happens very rarely.The reasons for its occurrence is not found, but suggest that it happens by the work of the part of the brain responsible for perception and memory.

usually causes déjà vu feeling of unreality.Sometimes it seems that it could just dream about, and it happens that this phenomenon could be taken as a prediction of the future, or as a memory of "past life."In general, this phenomenon is hard to describe, and the typical response for a person to relate to him in any recent past.

By unconscious feelings are those that occur during sleep, while reducing the overall level of awareness, as well as an intuitive sense (intuition).

Based on this, it can be said that the feeling of - a specific multifaceted concept.It describes the phenomena that take place at different levels and with different perceptions of quality, intensity (worsening and dullness) and duration.
