perceptually
Via sensory awareness
Perceptually means in terms of perception—how something is sensed or experienced rather than how it actually is.
Two colors may be perceptually identical under certain lighting even if their wavelengths differ.
The image was perceptually unchanged despite the compression.
The word appears most often in psychology, neuroscience, and design contexts.
