The Proximal Sense By Max Drodofsky

What is Proximity?  In order to know and understand the proximal sense, you should know what Proximity is.  Proximity is one’s nearness in place, time, order, occurrence, or relation. 

Perception A big part of the proximal sense is perception. How you perceive your surroundings and interpret what is happening in the world around you. Vision and hearing are the main ways of Proximal perception. When you see things you are visually seeing the depth and detail around you, and when you hear you are hearing where people are in relation to what you are seeing. People who are blind can sense proximity through just their ears, hearing where people are in relation to them instead of seeing them.

The Distal and Proximal Stimulus  How does this Proximity stuff work?  There are two things you must also know before you can understand the proximal sense, the Proximal and the Distal Stimuli.  Distal Stimuli – “The distal stimulus is the stimulus of an object as it actually exists in the real world.  Proximal Stimuli – Registers the information given by the Distal stimuli, example: A train that is coming down the tracks. The Train itself is the Distal stimuli. The light reflected off the train and the sound coming from the train is the Proximal stimuli and is sent to your sensory receptors (eyes and ears). 

Proximal Receptors: Eyes  The Retina is a sensory tissue that is in the back of the eye, it contains potoreceptors that capture light (after being stimulated by the proximal and Distal stimulus.) and that light is turned into electrical impulses. Then the light is carried up the optic nerve and to the brain in which they are then turned into Images 

Proximal Receptors: The Ears  The Eardrum receives vibrations from sound producing mechanisms from your surroundings. The soundwaves then travel up the auditory canal and then go into the inner ear. Hearing helps the proximal sense in a great way. Its is like seeing with more than your eyes. Without you ears, you would not have a clear picture of whats going on in your surroundings 
