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.

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.

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.
