General - Human Perception - View Post

 Interesting. watched some more of that series, and it kind of reminded me of Discovery's Science of Sex Appeal.

Now it's my turn

Everyone knows the 5 human senses: Vision, sound, smell, taste and touch. But what's this? There are many more!

6. Equilibrioception - Sense of balance

7. Thermoception - sense of heat, and the absence of it

8. Nociception - Sense of pain. This one interacts with the all of the other senses. For example, You can feel pain via physical contact (touch), but you can also feel pain if you are too close to a fire, even if the fire doesn't touch you.

9. Proprioception - Body Awareness. Close your eyes and move your hand above your head, and to the left and right of your head. Even though you can't see your hand, you know exactly where it is in relation to the rest of your body. This one is my favorite :)

There are more, but those are the most common ones

And you thought a sixth sense was outrageous
