perception
Definition
A conscious or unconscious state of awareness or understanding of one's surroundings that exists within the mind and formed through sensory signals stimulated by current conditions, expectations and past memories. The confluence of complex sensory inputs often times creates a perception that is unreliable or unverifiable. In other words, it may not be based in reality.
