I am confused by the distinctions being made here. First, I've never heard the CNS described as whatever is after the first synapse in the thalamus. In fact, it could be argued on more than one basis, that the retina is part of the CNS. Second, how is sensation "physical" and perception "psychological", and what do these terms mean? (That rumbling under your feet may be J.J. Gibson!)
