When it comes to sensations, we are talking about the immediate basic experience, generated by simple stimulations. Sensation could also be defined as the primary brain processing of our main sensory organs. Meanwhile, the concept of perception includes the interpretation of sensations, giving them a certain organization and meaning. Since it is a psychological process determined by the culture, experience and beliefs of the subject, we are not talking about any extraordinary capacity for perception.
For example, we can feel the heat on a sunny day, and that would be a sensation, but our idea that it is a pleasant or unpleasant sensation is our perception.
