Answer preview

In summary, despite using the same form of communication by sensory nerves, humans experience different sensations due to several factors. The sensory receptors are built in a unique way that enables them to detect specific types of stimuli. Neural pathways transmit sensory information to appropriate processing areas in the brain, ensuring that different modalities of sensation are processed separately. The brain then integrates and interprets the sensory information, considering factors like intensity, timing, and multisensory cues. Additionally, the brain filters and modulates sensory inputs to prioritize relevant information. Collectively, these mechanisms enable us to perceive and experience the wide variety of sensations that contribute to our understanding of the world around us.
