senser
One who detects
A senser is someone or something that senses—perceives or detects.
The word appears occasionally in technical contexts for devices that detect stimuli, though sensor is far more common for machines.
In linguistics, a senser is the entity that experiences a mental process: in She noticed the smell, she is the senser.
