sensorischer

Sensorisch is a German adjective meaning related to the senses or to sensation. It derives from the concept of sensing and is used in everyday language as well as in scientific and technical contexts. The related noun "Sensorik" refers to the science or technology of sensing, while "Sensor" can denote a device that detects physical quantities.

In psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, sensorisch concerns the sensory modalities and the processing of sensory information. It is commonly used with the five classical senses—visuell (vision), auditiv (hearing), olfaktorisch (smell), gustatorisch (taste), and taktil (touch)—as well as proprioception and vestibular sense. The terms "sensorische Reize" (sensory stimuli) and "sensorische Wahrnehmung" (sensory perception) describe inputs and their interpretation by the brain.

In technology and design, sensorisch describes data or feedback gathered by sensors. Phrases such as sensorische Daten, sensorische Signale and sensorische Rückmeldungen appear in contexts from robotics and automotive systems to human–computer interaction, where the aim is to utilize or present sensory information effectively.

Clinically, sensorisch appears in discussions of sensory processing: sensorische Störung, sensorische Integration, and sensorische Überempfindlichkeit describe atypical processing of sensory information.

Overall, sensorisch functions as a broad descriptor for anything pertaining to senses and sensation, spanning biology, psychology, and applied technology.
