Sensation refers to the way sensory information is organized, interpreted, and consciously experienced.

Explanation:

Perception is the process of organizing the sensory information, its interpretation and experiencing the things according to the previous incidents. In humans, sensory areas present in the cerebral cortex are responsible for the perception of sensory information. The sensation is the process when our sensory receptors detect the stimulus.

In addition to five senses, there are sensory receptors that sense the changes in the balance of the body. The information sensed by these receptors is called the vestibular sense. Likewise, proprioception and thermoception refer to sense the changes in body position and temperature respectively.
