Perception from WikiPedia:
In philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science, perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of sensory information. The word "perception" comes from the Latin words perceptio, percipio, and means "receiving, collecting, action of taking possession, apprehension with the mind or senses."

The study of perception gave rise to the Gestalt school of psychology, with its emphasis on holistic approach.
