SUMMARY:Perception and Control: Sensory systems in biology and engineering
DESCRIPTION:Targeted interaction with other living beings and with the non-
 living world are controlled exclusively by an organism’s sensory systems, w
 hich are able to perceive and process chemical and physical stimuli. Sensor
 y impressions – such as visual, acoustic or tactile impressions – influence
  our behaviour and our emotional world; they play a role in the generation 
 of fear, joy, affection and disgust. In addition, living beings have sensor
 s that are closely linked with basic bodily functions and control blood pre
 ssure, hunger, thirst and libido, but can also create dependencies, such as
 , in humans, computer game addiction. In human beings, specific complex aes
 thetic, musical and artistic sensations and our perceptions of form and bea
 uty arise from the processing of sensory impressions in the cerebral cortex
  and their connections with previously experienced sensory associations. In
  a similar fashion, technical sensors have conquered the modern world and c
 ontrol many functions of our everyday lives. In electronic communication, p
 articular demands are placed on our sensory systems and their interaction w
 ith technology. In this context, our perception itself is influenced by tec
 hnology. Perception and control are also a basic element of modern developm
 ental biology and medical therapeutic concepts. One example is the developm
 ent of active prostheses and functionalised implants that interact with pat
 ients’ bodily tissue. In the context of such medical applications, the conn
 ection between perception and control makes it necessary to systematically 
 analyse where the limits are of what is feasible and what is desirable.
