Humans May Have 22–33 Senses, Not Just Five

New research and expert discourse suggest that human perception rests on 22–33 senses, far beyond the classic five. Proprioception, interoception, vestibular balance, sense of agency, and sense of ownership are part of a distributed, multisensory system that blends touch, taste, smell, and sight to create flavor, texture, and self-awareness. Everyday experiences—such as odors altering taste or sounds changing perceived texture—reflect this interconnectedness. Work at the Centre for the Study of the Senses and Crossmodal Laboratory in Oxford, alongside exhibitions like Senses Unwrapped, illustrate how our senses continually negotiate a single, coherent reality.

Scientists Suggest Humans Have Over 30 Senses

Recent research suggests humans may have over 30 senses, including traditional ones like sight and hearing, as well as others like proprioception and interoception, all working together to create a unified experience of the world. Our perception is multisensory and influenced by various factors, with ongoing studies exploring the complexity of human sensory systems.

Humans May Possess Up to 33 Senses

Modern research suggests humans have between 22 and 33 senses, including traditional senses like sight and hearing, as well as others like proprioception, interoception, and the sense of ownership, all working together to create a unified perception of the world.

Virtual Forest Bathing Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress, Study Finds

A study confirms that multisensory virtual reality experiences of forests, combining sight, sound, and scent, significantly improve mood and sense of connection to nature, with potential applications in clinical and urban settings. Further research is needed to generalize the findings.

Meta's Multisensory AI Model Mimics Human Perception with Open-Source ImageBind.

Meta has released an open-source AI model called ImageBind that combines six types of data, including text, audio, visual data, temperature, and movement readings, into a single multidimensional index. The model is a research project with no immediate consumer applications, but it points to a future of generative AI systems that can create immersive, multisensory experiences. Meta's open-source approach to AI research sets it apart from rivals like OpenAI and Google, who have become increasingly secretive.

Bone-conduction tech reveals the true nature of your voice perception.

New research published in Royal Society Open Science shows that bone conduction helps distinguish between your own voice and the voice of others. The study found that hearing our own voice feels unnatural to us because of the lack of bone conduction, which alters the acoustic properties of our voice. Bone-conduction headphones were used to overcome this issue, and the study found that participants were better at telling their own voice apart from someone else’s voice when they heard the sounds through their bones instead of through the air. The findings have clinical relevance for conditions such as schizophrenia.
