Sense receptors measure kinetic-energy flow onto their receptive-field area {energy flow and sense intensity}. For example, taste receptors measure salt concentration as salt-to-receptor binding per second, which transfers kinetic energy per second. Kinetic energy flow transforms to potential-energy change. Membrane-potential changes and molecule-potential-energy changes continually transfer stimulus energy to new neurons. Neuron coding represents neuron potential-energy and kinetic-energy transfers. Electrochemical flows are like kinetic energy, and electrochemical states are like potential energy {electrochemical potential and kinetic energy}. Electric circuits have resistances, capacitances, and inductances, and pipes have constrictions and standpipes.
