Sensation refers to particular experiences that a living being has, due to specialised organs for hearing, seeing, feeling and smelling. Sensation is transient: when the physical stimulus is gone, the sensation is gone and cannot be held in memory (though it can be integrated into percepts, which can be). The senses refers to that faculty of transducing external physical properties to the brain: what the brain receives is sensations.
