Sensory perception or sensation (from French: sensation "sensory impression", derived from Latin: sensus "to feel, sense, perceive with the senses") is a special case of perception in general. In common speech, the word "sensation" is also used to describe a sensational, emotionally experienced event.

In his theory of the senses, Rudolf Steiner distinguished twelve physical senses through which we perceive the sensual world. However, not only processes of the sensual world, but also those of higher worlds are significantly involved in the formation of sensory perception. Accordingly, it is not only the physical body that is active in the human being, but also the higher members, as Rudolf Steiner has exemplarily shown in the process of colour perception.
