sensation
translocation
transduction
perception

Explanation:

In psychophysics, sensation refers to the detection of a stimulus. Recognizing the presence of a new email in the inbox is the initial detection of the stimulus (the email), which is sensation. Translocation is not relevant here. Transduction is the conversion of a stimulus into an electrical signal in the nervous - system, which is not what is described. Perception is the interpretation of the sensed information, which comes after sensation when one reads and makes sense of the email.

Answer:

sensation
