The series of events in which a light stimulus (in the form of photons) is received and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events involved in sensory perception in which a sensory stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events involved in magnetoception in which a light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. Downstream processing of the light information in addition to other sensory data allows organisms to perceive the orientation of a magnetic field. The series of events required for an organism to receive a stimulus relating to a magnetic field, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Stimuli may be chemical, mechanical or electrical and interpreting these stimuli allows an organism to determine the orientation of a magnetic field. Magnetoreception also involves the perception of light; birds cannot orient without the presence of short wavelength (blue/green) light. The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory light stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. The series of events in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process.
