Do we have more than 5 senses?

The Greek philosopher Aristotle used sensory experiences and body parts to propose that humans have five senses. But almost as soon as he proposed them, people noticed things that didn’t fit the bill. And the debate has continued ever since because it all comes down to what we consider a sense.

[@jessical4866]

Very proud of how I was wondering “isn’t that actually a perception?” before Hank even got there. Basically my train of thought was that if Aristotle’s 5 senses had physical organs, then they would have physical nerves too. So anything that didn’t have nerves (sense of time, for one) would be a perception.

[@pedroscoponi4905]

Sense of object weight is one of my favorites. You don't need skin touch to tell whether something is heavy, or light, or how heavy or light it is compared to something else. You can even guesstimate the actual weight of stuff, even if not super precisely. It's probably related to proprioception, since it probably relies on sensing stress on your muscles and bones and joints and stuff, but I say _why not_ add it to the pile? :D

[@VariantAEC]

Still touch. Your muscles are providing resistance and you're feeling the resistance which is falls into the category of touch. If your muscles are being crushed is it your skin or muscles feeling that? Probably both but if you can't feel anything then you probably also do not feel muscle resistance and what happens then??? You damage yourself by trying to take on too much weight.

[@Kiterpuss]

Technically weight is a perception rather than a sensation, but it's one of the more complicated ways that our brain combines sensory stimuli to make sense of the world

[@VariantAEC]

@@Kiterpuss And yet all of the senses responible for determining weight, muscle resitance, pressure (which is literally the default perception of touch) all still fall under the umbrella category of touch. Am I wrong? Please elaborate.

[@nicolaiveliki1409]

Proprioception combined with motor stimulus output. Basically we're gauging the frequency of signals going to your muscles to the amount they move compared to how they would usually move with the same outgoing stimulus. That is, if the weight is in the same order of magnitude as the limb we are using to gauge the weight. If it's so light that you don't notice a difference in motion, then you can only rely on your tactile experience ('is this a pound or two' compared to 'is this a quarter ounce or half an ounce')

[@torylva]

Oh yes! More than five, more than dozens I'd guess. Chronoception for instance is the sense of time, thermoception so we can sense temperatures, and my personal favorite Proprioception, the sense of self. Like where our hands are in relation to the rest of our body. This sense is why we can accurately pick up things without having to look at our hands while moving them! Edit: Here's another cool thing. If you have ever touched a thing, you can also almost sense how it would feel to run your tongue over it, just from the memory of that texture. Try it out!

[@UnderEuropa]

I would argue that touch should maybe be defined into a few subset senses, but maybe headache and holding your breath would fall under one of those categories. What i want to know is if your sense of balance should be classified as a sense even though you dont actively feel it all the time. There are many internal stimuli that seem like they're "touch", but only if you really stretch the definition. What about the physical feelings associated with different emotions? Which sense allows me to physically feel good/bad if im happy or sad respectively?

[@calebbrasher7928]

Maybe we can split the sound into 2 senses for how high and low the sound is or many more for how a thing sounds like.

But if i try to close my eyes, suddenly i feel a lot less confident about how well i'll go downstairs. So not looking how i'm going down, perfectly fine, but when i'm closing my eyes... Yeah, it's like my body cannot keep up the accurate movement of stepping down the stairs, so it tries to scare me away.

[@unknownuser8838]

Explain Mr. Sketch Markers.

[@dotter8]

Add four for vision. There's low light vision, (mediated by rod cells in the retina, sensitive to much lower light but does not provide colour.) There's colour vision, (mediated by cone cells, it gives colour vision but requires more light.) There's central vision, (mediated by the fovea centralis region of the retina, it has much finer detail than the rest.) And there's parallax vision, (mediated by the two eyes together with the visual cortex, it provides depth perception.)

[@dotter8]

Oh, and there are two kinds of touch, (besides hot, cold, and pain.) There's coarse-touch, which is mediated by one type of touch receptor. It allows you to feel textures just by pressing your skin against a surface, but it only senses larger textures. And there's fine-touch, which is mediated by another type of receptor. It allows you to perceive smaller textures, but you have to rub the surface with your skin. (The latter might involve the hearing centers of the brain; research was ongoing when last I heard.)

[@MollyWat]

This reminds me, I read a book called The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat, and there was a story of a woman (based on a real patient) who suddenly lost her proprioception. Basically she’d have no idea where her arms and legs were unless she was looking at them, and would “collapse in a helpless heap” if she closed her eyes for too long. She’d constantly drop, bump into, and stumble over things, but since it’s a condition that was virtually unknown (and incomprehensible) to the average person at the time, people would just think that she’s drunk or extremely clumsy. It was pretty sad.

I've always been incredibly fascinated with perception and sensation. It actually became one of my special interests as an autistic person as well, possibly in part due to my own perception clearly being different from other people around me. It also gets more complicated when you add in altered mental states. I would be incredibly fascinated by a video on what things can affect perception and, at least, the broad details of how they do typically affect perception.

[@VariantAEC]

It's not more or less expansive just typically hypo or hyper sensitive. You still have the four categories: Chemoreception, Hearing, Sight Touch. Chemoreception includes both taste and smell which are interpreted by the brain. Hearing includes any ability that translates sound waves into the perception of sound in the brain for Sight we have the same thing just revolving around how the brain interprets light. With touch things seem to get more complicated, but the category is not that much more complicated. If any object/s are causing the brain to interpret a sensation that would be touch. Where there appears to be overlap is with chemoreception. For example the stomach being too full may cause a nauseous sensation this is because the stomach is physically being stretched out however an identical sensation can be instigated by toxic substances which would fall under chemoreception. It's not that hard.

[@SkyeWint]

@@VariantAEC I don't think you really understood my comment. I didn't say anything about "expansive", but actual perception of stimulus and how the brain modifies that stimulus does make it more complicated - again, especially with altered mental states. Perception also encompasses situations and what aspects of stimulus come into focused attention first, if at all. You seem to be talking about sensation like in the video, perhaps with a bit of perception relating specifically to each individual stimulus.

There also exist mental senses, that is, our ability to simulate and perceive images, sounds and even smells, tastes and touch in your mind. This is what scientists call "the mind's eye", but extended to all the other possible things you can experience in your mind. Of course, you're not sensing the outside world, but rather your memories and internal representations, but I think that they count as senses because you're internally perceiving the contents of your mind.

[@CapriUni]

Could it be that Senses are things that we make, when we make sense of the world? (okay, that's more wordplay than science, but I like it!) Also, I group the sense "have to go to the 'bathroom'" sense with touch. It's internal, rather than felt through the skin, sure. But it's still a perception of pressure, and the feeling of urgency can be dulled by giving your conscious mind some *other* sort of pressure to think about instead (such as crossing your legs, or sometimes I focus on feeling the pressure of my butt in the chair I'm sitting in).

At least two of them. Thermoception involves two different kinds of receptors, one that responds to heat and the other to cold.

I thought the "senses" were based on how we experience the world, how we experience our surroundings. Hunger is more internal. Is not how we experience the outside (we experience food by taste and smell even maybe touch and vision, hunger is just a trigger to eat and put food in your mouth and sense it with well... your senses. but as you feel hunger wouldn't be considered touch?) Like being able to detect acidity in our spines is it really an extra- sensory experience? How is that gonna help us experience and identify the external world/stimulus ¿ Or is there a new millennial definition of senses? I am confused now, is confusion a sense now? Because I'm really "sensing" confusion.

At the very least, proportion is. It's possible for a stroke or a seizure that interferes with your sensory cortex to futz with proportion. It's also possible for a synesthete to have proportion connected to other senses. Though, even more bizarrely, some neuro-philosophers have argued that humans have a sense of proportionality (as in fairness) hard wired into our brain as well. It isn't connected to our senses but there may be a biological component to the belief that punishment should be more or less severe based on how bad the offense is.

@@NorthboundFox it sounds like OP is a kid or something. Like who tf over age 10 uses postscript to explain that they were making a joke

I've known this for decades. Anyone who has ever said "I feel hot" or "I feel cold" has a sense of temperature. If you walk out of shadow into strong sunlight you feel the warmth on your skin. There are other senses, such as proprioception, the sense where you feel what position your limbs are in. Sadly, some people lack a sense of adventure; others don't have the sense God gave a horse.

So the 6th sense should have been like the 96th sense lol or 1,006th sense 🤔

[@DharmaJannyter]

Yes, there is at least one more sense: Bulls*ht detector 😆

[@Vininn126]

So we don't have a sense on sense?

[@h7opolo]

i have 37 senses. i'm highly sensitive.

[@larisael-netanany488]

Heh. You forgot to mention the sense of humor and the most common of the forgotten senses - the common sense

[@ThePandimonium]

The common sense is not really a sense despite it being called that, it is completely perception; which is the connection of common thought processes.
