The study or science of sensation and sensory perception; the branch of knowledge concerned with how organisms perceive stimuli through their senses.
From aesthesia + -logy (study of). A technical term combining Greek roots for sensation and systematic study.
Aesthiology is like the grandfather field of neuroscience and psychology—before modern brain imaging, philosophers and doctors studied sensation to understand how we experience reality, which led directly to today's cognitive science.
