3 Senses You Didn’t Know You Had

At some point, you’ve probably learned about the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. However, the classic list doesn't account for all the sensations we experience and use to navigate the world around us!

[@Diceyed]

I know many people without a sense of humor.

[@healthystrongmuslim]

fucking sense-ists. not everybody has the same senses as you

[@gotthesinglelife]

Or one better common sense which is not so common with so many people getting killed or injured doing the latest craze or being distracted.

[@Root3264]

Okay, this made me cry. I have to remember this one! :'D

Still no evidence for a sense of purpose tho.

[@haobozhang4793]

[@the_barbarian2239]

reproduction.

[@NextGenAge]

+The_Barbarian 223 But what is the purpose of reproduction? I think the purpose of life is undifined, it's up to you what purpose you want to create and this is often related to helping others, by relieving their pain, emptyness and filling in time.

[@ZubyMusic]

This channel is dope. I've been geeking out for the past hour. Strangely addictive...

[@ltdang1e_]

Watch vsauce

[@taronbrown7665]

he doesn't upload

[@shmuckling]

You might also enjoy Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell - they only upload like once a month, but they make it worth the wait. If you're looking for a advanced geek stuff check out PBS Space Time - watching the same video 2-3 times so as to grasp the essence of the subject is not uncommon, according to the comments section...but you learn a LOT of really cool stuff.

[@klyxes]

he uploads once every month (at best). its once every 1-3 months

[@klyxes]

I suggest CGP grey, smarter everyday and vsauce 3, if the 1st channel doesnt interest you, then i highly suggest watching the following videos from the channel: humans need not apply, why didnt an americapox exist (as in, why did the european conquerors not die off from disease like native americans did), that video comes with another about what makes an animal able to be domesticated, and lastly you are two. From smarter...: mind-blowing magic magnets (basically magnets that arent simply north-south pole magnets like youre used to), turning gravity into light, acoustic levitation, and backwards brain bicycle. For vsauce 3 there arent any videos that stand out but theyre all very entertaining. It mostly has to do with how things in pop culture would be in everyday life (example, what would happen if Cap. america's shield would hit you, can the kool-aid man actually break through walls...basically take game/movie concepts and bring them to real life)

[@thetayz72]

Even though it's distinct, I always considered thermoception to be just another dimension of touch.

[@Thutil]

Maybe, but you can sense heat without actually touching any physical object (i.e. matter, something with mass). The most obvious example of this is probably the Sun; you can feel the heat of its radiation, and it's distinct from the heat of the air. If thermoception was a dimension of touch, then you'd have to be touching something to feel heat.

[@mark5442]

yep! Reporting in from medical school... there are also different receptors for touch vs heat

[@RSmeep13]

but you're feeling the temperature of the air, which you're touching, not the actual sun

[@BlueXephosiscool]

Ordovician. You are also sensing the Suns radiation heat up your skin.

[@_ch1pset]

what you think of touch is actually multiple senses for temperature, pressure and pain along your skin.

[@antMANscochiey]

Great episode, but don't tell me what I do and do not know. It's a major turn off.

Uncanny timing of this video as I was just telling my teen daughter yesterday that she has more than 5 senses.

[@BBBuilds12]

3 clickbait techniques you didn't know exist. Still pretty interesting video.

[@zachr2773]

and how is this click bait?

[@InorganicVegan]

Yeah, I'd like more substantive content, too.

[@paulovictorsilvaferreira7824]

Wat? The purpose of a video's title is to call attention to the video, by summarizing what will be in said video. The tittle said exactly what was in the video, so I don't understand how that is clickbait.

[@quinson93]

Didn't know and might not know are two separate things. I believe it may be seen as a clickbait since it promises something that might not be true. "You won't believe what happens next," is a good example as it has the same assertion. It's a bait or an unrealistic promise of expectation.

[@BBBuilds12]

+Quinson makes sense

[@plat4234]

Why didn't you mention the force?

[@michaeljordan1135]

That would be like mentioning the Holy Spirit.

[@eduardochavez82]

One exist and one doesn't

[@TorquemadaTwist]

It's there just the one force or are there two: the dark and the light?

[@DrScrubbington]

+Eduardo Chavez Exactly, I use the force all the time on people. [licks hand and moves it towards someone's face]

If you hold cold ice long enough, cold tap water will feel hot.

[@yanga53]

And viseversa?

[@ChadEichhorn]

Yup! Holding hot ice will make hot tap water feel cold.

[@Dornatum]

Ah, I've noticed that too. Why is that?

[@TheKalkalash]

Because your skin detects temperature gradients, not absolute temperature. Cold ice is colder than cold tap water, which means that the surface of your skin and a thin layer of air around it has the same temperature as the ice. When you then add cold water, you have heat transferring from the cold water into the even colder air and hand. Your skin detects that transferring heat.

[@yanga53]

Chad Eichhorn What I meant is that if you put your hand in hot water for long enough it will feel cold. C'mon you know better than that...

[@lawoftheeast]

The five sense model is like the five paragraph essay. It's a learning template for younger minds that helps them grasp the fundamentals.

[@jonathanthompson4077]

Though I still wonder why balance isn't included in the short version, doesn't seem that hard for 5 year olds to grasp

[@akrybion]

Or maybe a sense you just call "position sense" or something like this, which combines balance and the "you know where your body is"- sense (you can't come a child with Proprioception)

[@teriyakichicken1848]

Fuck long essays, mine are still no longer than 2 paragraph.

[@EebstertheGreat]

The categorization of the "five senses" is usually attributed to Aristotle. I can't really understand how he concluded that senses should be organized this way, or what he considered senses of pain, temperature, balance (and acceleration), and position of limbs. My best guess is that (in part due to a misunderstanding of heat) he considered temperature to be a kind of touch (along with vibration), pain to be a different phenomenon altogether, and balance and proprioception to be things that didn't really require sensing at all (though they clearly do). It's worth noting that in addition to these external senses, there are also many internal senses such as fullness of stomach, bladder, and rectum, stretching and distension of lungs and intestines (all governed by stretching sensors), insufficient food energy (a very complex sense governed by the hypothalamus and resulting in hunger), blood plasma osmotic pressure and salination (resulting in thirst), muscular activity and lactic acid buildup (resulting in muscular exhaustion), blood carbon dioxide concentration (resulting in "air hunger"), blood pressure (which does not appear to be consciously recognized, but results in vasodilation or constriction), cutaneous vasodilation (recognition of blushing), esophageal toxification (resulting in vomiting), pharyngeal stimulation (resulting in gagging), and many others. Some internal senses such as fatigue and time appear to be entirely internal to the brain and are still poorly understood.

[@videogyar2]

It's not right, it's a lie. Teachers should say "Now we're going to learn 5 of the senses" and not "We're going to learn the 5 senses." And it happens a lot. I got confused when they taught me in primary school there are 3 states of matter, and then they told me in high school there are actually 4. I could name a lot of other examples, but you get the point.

[@connorking984]

Yo...

[@user-ej7we6ph3l]

Isn't temperature detection a sub-sense of touch?

[@lilyworst3233]

As defined in popular ideology, it would be, but scientists think of touch as sensing pressure, not heat.

[@davidbhart]

How so? Both use very different systems biologically and aren't really related, which is why people with certain nervous disorders may be able to sense touch but not temperature and vice versa. Plus you don't actually detect "temperature" as such, you detect temperature change, so things feel warmer or cooler relative to your own bodies heat, and hence give/take energy at different rates from your cells.

[@user-ej7we6ph3l]

Lily Worst Aaah, that makes sense; thanks

[@CorbinCCraig-sl1mi]

isn't taste just a sub-sense of touch though?

[@CrownofMischief]

@@CorbinCCraig-sl1mi If anything, I'd say its related to smell, with hearing being closer to touch what with vibrations and all that

[@eyesofmuffin]

as someone who has chronic conditions/disabilities that have affected all of these areas in me; I have trouble explaining them to people other than 'tingly' 'pain upon some touch' 'don't do well in cold' 'balance because of vertigo' etc. This is even more interesting as it may bring more insight into how my body works. Youve done this while keeping it consumable enough it's accessible to read. Which is honestly the difference of me being able to do so or not in cases such as this. Yes that's self focused to what is already a fascinating subject but isn't selective application and learning what it's all about? p.s. Love and good luck to all of you fleshy globules reading this, you're doing great.

[@WaldoBC]

The traditional five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste) is credited to Aristotle. After the 3 mentioned: Thermoception, Proprioception, Equilibrioception... there is also: Chemoreceptors, Hunger, Itch, Magnetoception, Nociception (pain), Pressure, Stretch Receptors, Tension Sensors, Thirst, Time, and perhaps knowing/feeling when you need to relieve yourself.

[@Thumbsupurbum]

Why does everything hurt so much more when you're cold?

[@alfredomarquez1916]

Cause if you keep at it you die, and your body wouldn't like that.

[@FlyingJetpack1]

The pain receptors becomes more sensitive. Don't know why do.

[@thetruthhurts2352]

Lack of blood in certain areas

[@wyllomygreene7700]

Well, when you feel cold, you get tenser, you might even start shivering. I would imagine that tense feeling plays a role. Just think about first aid - you strain a muscle, you apply heat to it, it relaxes, the pain eases. So if you strain a muscle, and you're cold, would it not make sense that the tenseness caused by the cold would exacerbate your pain?

[@CeCeDot]

Under 0 degrees celsius, the temperature is measured with your pain receptors instead of thermoceptors

[@naturesfinest2408]

the title should have been. "Three senses you didn't see coming"

[@Galakyllz]

Great video. Also, thanks for coloring the bullet-points different colors at 3:59. I actively realized that it was helping me learn/remember them better since each one was obvious and separate. It was a much better choice then just listing them vertically. Excellent work.

[@highcc]

live long and prosper SR Foxley, Green brothers and all the SciShow/Crash Course teams and other patrons! Immense love to you all!

[@deep_fried_analysis]

I'd argue that Empathy should be added to the list. It's a sense that helps navigate the social and emotional spectra, yours as well as others'. It's universal, everybody has it on some level. There are defects, just like in any other sense and can be exercised, just like any other sense

[@3314ashley]

I do believe it is classified. I think this is just a small list taken from the bigger (I think 28 or around that number?) list of senses.

[@HoD999x]

if empathy would be a sense, then "the ability to play games" would also be a sense

[@armydillo1013]

it's not really something that gains info about the physical world though, which is kind of what defines a sense. Sure, it deals with people, which are physically present, but their own emotions are more of a mental/social concept, and not some physical thing we can obsverve. It also usually comes out of gaining information from other people, which is usually done by other senses and voluntarily processing the info from those senses in order to gain an understanding of someone else's emotional state. Since it isn't something that gains info of the physical world and often times involves voluntary thinking, I would not fully label it as a sense, but since it still involves gaining information about the world around you, I guess you could call it a pseudo-sense.

[@deep_fried_analysis]

Armydillo 101 A sense if defined as "a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus". Since feelings and moods are external stimuli, then by definition, a sense should not only include the physical perceptions. We know that there are multiple players of perception to our surroundings than just the physical, ergo it's not a "pseudo-sense".

[@HoD999x]

so you would also include the "sense of reading" since reading also works via external stimulation?

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

great... now add sense of humour to the list

[@theorange8943]

well that means you don't have common sense since he was obviously joking...

[@taschke1221]

I was experimenting with proprioception on the basketball court in the gym of my university one semester, when a group of middle school kids walked in and saw me do a move followed by a blind 3-pointer. They went nuts! I probably should have stopped to explain but I didn't want to seem like a creep or ruin the "magic". Hopefully, they'll figure it out in the future.

I found out all about those crystals in the otolith organs when I had bad spells of dizziness a few years back. There is a very interesting way to 'reset' those crystals, called the "Epley Maneuver" which is literally a series of positions where you lie down and stay in that position for a short time. So strange, but absolutely works!

[@WilliamBradey]

I think I may have some issues with equilibrioception and proprioception. Every once in a while I'll be doing whatever and it will feel as though I'm moving at 100 miles an hour and it is nearly impossible to keep my balance. It only lasts for a minute or so, but it's so bad that I'm unable to even walk. Then I'll have weird phases where it feels like my arms are twice as long and that my hands are flipped upside down. That too only lasts for a little while and I can still use my hands, it's just difficult and feels incredibly weird. Of course I sound like a nutcase when I try to explain this to anyone and I don't expect my doctor to take it seriously so I just hope and pray it's nothing serious

[@NotTheCIA1961]

Talk to a doctor, he'll likely understand or at least give some guidance.

[@DarthGangsta]

If you're being completely accurate of what you are saying, this could be having tactile hallucinations caused by psycosis, brain damage, or even cooler synesthesia. But it's not my place to say for sure, I'm no doctor.

Theoretically quite a few seeing as gender is not biologically related. I think you're thinking of sex.

[@GamingPhilosophe]

There are a lot of them, but first let me talk to you about parallel universes.

[@jarrodanderson4825]

the notion that gender is not biologically determined (or, for that matter, normally related to sex) is fallacious. Nothing exists in a vacuum.

[@mafumaru5899]

"Gender" is actually British English and is the exact same thing as "sex". But Americans don't give a shit, like always.

[@audreywinter6910]

I had loose stones in the otolith organs once. I used to get dizzy when laying down as in the opposite of low blood pressure where you get dizzy when getting up. It was quite a rush, but a little creepy. The ENT threw me from side to side pretty violently and instructed the hubby how to do it if it reoccurred. Stones settled back ind, no more dizzy. :) I love how people (like teachers, professors) get thrown when they ask about how many senses we have and you say anything over five. Most just ignore it and go about their program.

Can you guys dissect IARC's bullshit report of glyphosate being a "probable carcinogen"?

[@taschke1221]

Your message prompted me to research glyphosate, thanks for that. From what I can see, the largest risk of cancer is to those who are in direct contact with the bulk product and not the consumer. With that said, it is indeterminate whether non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is actually caused by glyphosate or some other inherent factor for the individuals in direct contact with the herbicide. You could go through the rigor of chemical analysis yourself to check the balance of electrons against skin, blood and lung tissue (I didn't) to tell whether it's indeed carcinogenic or not.

[@gutorossetti7373]

It's one of most commonly known. Why were you hoping it weren't there?

[@quintinbassett9467]

Carlos Rossetti Because I like learning New things.

[@MephLeo]

There's a sense many people seem to be lacking, these days. It's called "common".

[@calebstroup6917]

classic dilemma... pull my hand out of the fire or put on my jacket...? what to do...

[@pulanjuri1]

Fun fact: we can hear temperature, you can tell if water is hot or cold if you listen to it being poured in a glass

[@jonasmuller1880]

The title was a bit click-baity and misleading:( please do adequate titles!

[@Galakyllz]

What was misleading about it? I hadn't ever considered these things "senses", but they really are. Has the title been updated since I saw it?

[@hanzenshou5957]

"3 Senses You Didn’t Know You Had" "Didn't know"

[@jonasmuller1880]

Galakyllz I would have expected from the title that there is some way our body gathers information about our surroundings in some way we didn't know. But these things are pretty much common knowledge :/

[@jonasmuller1880]

But I get what you mean, technically it is not false or anything.

[@DJSkunkieButt]

Gavin Free was right...

[@patrickruddell3475]

All of the senses are touch, think about it. Its all touch!!

[@cedricdoguiles8283]

Good to see you again Hank.

[@hajorm.a3474]

bait title.

[@nand3kudasai]

still, no evidence of the so called "common sense"

[@tahaistheboss98]

Common sense is more likely a psychological phenomenon. Common sense is probably built through our growth. Let's say you were a child who was taught all of Al's parody songs are the real song. When you grow up, your common sense will tell you that the real songs, has to be fake, because Al did the "real" songs

[@vonzigle]

Good vid. Thanks!

[@feynstein1004]

Thank you Brain Games for teaching me about proprioception. Best TV Show ever. BTW you should've added chronoception to the list. It's the most fundamental of senses: our ability to sense the passage of time.

[@bekkayya]

Stop with the fucking clickbate videos. You shouldent have to be putting out so much content that you run out of things to talk about. Dont become mainstream media, you are better than this.

[@c0deman057]

Thank God for SR Foxley.

[@PhilGartman]

I had a stroke about 5 years ago and my proprioception was affected. My left arm is often not where I expect it to be and if I try to grab something with that hand and miss I get a brief sensation of it being gone altogether. It's the weirdest feeling. I don't really recommend it.

[@DoctorX17]

When I close my eyes the world feels like it's spinning around me, but the spin is constant and I've just gotten used to it

[@holeshothunter5544]

You may have just given my (ineffective) doctor a clue as to the CAUSE of my hyperhydrosis problem. I overheat at 78 F. It has led to unconsciousness the last two times it happened, and memory loss the last time. This is a very interesting segment. I sent it to my Md. He's been shooting in the dart for 2 years now.

[@maylien]

Okay, loved this.

[@fatterhorner]

Oh boy, three senses to make up for the one I'm missing! (Smell)

[@cartooncritic4107]

i have a sense that tells me,no matter where i am, when the microwave goes off 2 minutes early

[@ibs201]

There is only one sense: touch 1. Light waves need to touch your eyes and your brain interprets 2. Sound waves touch you ears 3. Molecules touch receptors in your nose to smell 4. Molecules touch receptors in your tongue to taste

[@nickmceachern3373]

Love it!

[@kurtmill9080]

I've read that the senses Smell/Taste can be collapsed into one, with Sight, Touch and Hearing also well known. Obviously, Balance/Vestibular is another one of our sense, and I'd say Orientation/Proprioception/Intuition accounts for knowing your location in space. So that's 6 senses. I'd say there's a 7th sense for knowing one's relativity in space, light, gravity and time too. Basically how everything else relates to us or to a common context.

[@JD..........]

They are the 5 active senses. Those which we can arguable influence ourselves. Relative body temperature, balance, pain, and others are senses that we simply notice.

[@junyajiang7150]

This video is very interesting! I am learning about sensors!

[@madmanoliver]

Nina and the Neurons! Felix! ... um.. (why is that the only one I cam remember?!? Godamnit I swear my little sister was watching this show just the other day!!) ... *goes to google* ĕ ahh there we go. Now I can make my joke. Nina and the Neurons! Felix! Belle! Luke! Ollie! Bud! Thermosomething..GODAMNIT NOW I FORGOT WHAT THE DAMN JOKE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FIRST PLACE FUCK THIS IM DONE

[@trulyinfamous]

You know that feeling when another person is in the room with you but you haven't seen or heard them, more or less confirmed them being in the room and you know they are there?

[@fuddle128260394]

Happy birthday hank!

[@coder0xff]

Surprised there wasn't at least a brief listing of some of the other ones. What about the senses hunger, thirst, respiration?

[@koimaxx]

This video makes a lot of sense.

[@XIIchiron78]

Actually in regards to yanking your hand away from hot things, there's actually closed loops of nerves that given the right input reflexively yank your arm back before your brain is even aware!

[@ionic7777]

1:06 TRPV1 also is responsible for the sensation you get from eating spicy foods!

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

Fascinating, really.

[@chrisneto]

Funnily enough. I learned about these in my songwriting class at uni...

[@Rainbownosehair]

Some people don'thave the intuition to know where their body parts are. That's so fascinating. When they don't know where their feet are when they don't see them

[@xoxvexerxox]

These seem like common sense. I definitely knew I could sense temperature.

[@upandatom]

How do these guys keep coming up with such awesome ideas?

[@charliehutch3533]

IT IS RELATIVE... AWESOME... just never mind.

[@Azzarinne]

WE HAVE OTOLITHS?!?! I HAD NO IDEA WE HAD OTOLITHS!!! We use those in fisheries to find out how old a fish is (they lay down rings like trees do), but it never occurred to me that we would have the same structure! **bounces excitedly**

[@arlettebee]

I have a question. How come people go crazy in those room with negative sounds. (world's quietest room) but deaf people are fine and people who are going deaf seem to respond differently to the silence.

[@PLAboy64]

there is another sense. The sense of time flowing forward. Some animal has no perception of time but human has.
