The Distinction Between Attention and Perception

Perception is not the same as attention. While attention is confined to vision, perception extends to different faculties. Our senses, like sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, guide us in understanding the nature of reality, although they can sometimes be deceiving. The right hemisphere of the brain plays a crucial role in perception, as it is better at making fine discriminations and perceiving the world accurately.
