Another important use of the middle voice is the '''experiential middle voice'''.  When used with sensory verbs the middle voice may be used to differentiate experiential, nonvolitional sensation (''see, hear, smell, feel, know, etc.''), as opposed to active, volitional sensation (''look, listen, sniff, touch, understand, etc.'')  Often times, the object of the sensory verb will be expressed using an oblique case, usually the ablative.
