Sirius is around 8.5 light years away. Voyager 1 has been aimed along a path which will take it in the general direction of Sirius and I seem to recall that the estimated journey time is in the order of 300,000 years. Philip B Â· 1 year ago.
â¢ The parietal lobe processes sensory information from the whole bodyâfor example, information about pain, touch, and pressure. â¢ The occipital lobe processes visual information coming into the brain. â¢ The temporal lobe is in charge of making sense of the auditory information from the environment.
The sensory areas are the cortical areas that receive and process information from the senses. Parts of the cortex that receive sensory inputs from the thalamus are called primary sensory areas. The senses of vision, audition, and touch are served by the primary visual cortex, primary auditory cortex and primary somatosensory cortex respectively.
