- Sensation and Perception Tutorials - A small collection of tutorials and demonstrations in sensation and perception.
- The Manifold of Sense - A survey of the discourse regarding emotions, sensations, and an attempt at producing an integrative approach to sensation and perception.
- Auditory Perception Cognition and Action Meeting: APCAM - The goal of APCAM is to bring together researchers from various theoretical perspectives to present focused research on auditory cognition, perception, and action.
- The Noh Mask Effect - Demonstrates illusory facial expression perception with Japanese Noh masks. Links to publications about the effect.
- Smarandache's Law - An improvement of Weber's and Fechner's Laws on sensations and stimuli. A paradoxical complex, an optical illusion, and a test of intelligence.
- Affective Epistemology - Affective epistemology is based on the idea that there is a way of knowing which transcends, specific perceptual frames. This idea is predicated on affective components as indicating the quality of a given perception, thought form, or way of being in the consciousness of human beings and other sentient life.
- Optical Illusions by Psych ARTS - We think we perceive objective reality, but perception is always altered by invisible biases. We are never free of the state-dependent bias, and so we are continually taken in by an illusion.
- The Logarithmic Time Perception Hypothesis - Logtime is the psychochronometric hypothesis that our age is our basis for estimating long time intervals, resulting in a perceived logarithmic shrinkage of our years as we grow older.
- Synaesthesia - A compilation of information from the internet and traditional sources. Includes explanations of the different types of perception.
- Vision Laboratory Macquarie University - Contains information about current research into human visual perception. Features material from some of the courses run by the psychology department and information about staff and students.s

- Sensation - In psychology, sensation is the first stage in the biochemical and neurologic events that begins with the impinging of a stimulus upon the receptor cells of a sensory organ, which then leads to perception, the mental state that is reflected in statements like "I see a uniformly blue wall."
- Concentrative movement therapy - Concentrative movement therapy (CMT) is a psychotherapeutic method for group and individual therapy which is based on thought models stemming from developmental psychology and depth psychology. Taking as its point of departure the theory that perception is comprised of sensation and experience (Viktor von Weizsäcker), CMT is interested in the conscious perception of the body in the “here and now“ against the background of the individual life and learning story
- Stereopsis - Stereopsis (from stereo meaning solidity, and opsis meaning vision or sight) is the process in visual perception leading to perception of stereoscopic depth. In turn, stereoscopic depth is the sensation of depth that emerges from the fusion of the two slightly different projections of the world on the two retinas.
- Spinal cord stimulator - Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) or Dorsal Column Stimulator (DCS) is an implantable medical device used to treat chronic pain of neurologic origin. An electric impulse generated by the device near the dorsal surface of the spinal cord provides a paresthesia ("tingling") sensation that alters the perception of pain by the patient.
- Music cognition - Music cognition is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the mental processes that support musical behaviors, including perception, comprehension, memory, attention, and performance. Originally arising in fields of psychoacoustics and sensation, cognitive theories of how people understand music more recently encompass neuroscience, music theory, computer science, philosophy, and linguistics.
