Notes on Usage
- "Cảm giác học" is a low-frequency, technical term. The more common French-derived equivalent used in some Vietnamese academic or medical texts is "esthésiologie". The direct English equivalent "esthesiology" is also a specialized term not commonly used in general English; "sensory science" or "the study of sensation" are more accessible descriptions.
