"The Science of Human Wetness Perception"
Humans don't have specific sensors for detecting wetness, but rely on a combination of other sensory inputs such as touch, temperature, and visual cues to perceive it. The somatosensory system processes tactile information from the skin, and humans use temperature changes and visual stimuli to identify liquids. Research has shown that humans may associate the sensation of coolness with the presence of wetness, and this has implications for areas such as clothing design and prosthetics.
