This is the most common myth taught to
children since early ages that we have
five senses. Which means our brain can
interpret five types of signals i.e. sight,
smell, touch, sound and taste. But this
myth has been busted by the discovery that our brain can actually sense 9 to 20
different types of signals: surprising isnt
it?? Scientist have expanded the theory to
include that our bodies have some other
senses as well such as sense of
equilibrium and speed, nociception to
feel pain, proprioception to sense
positioning, thermoception for sensing temperature etc. the list also includes
hunger, itching sense of time, sense of
stomach need, nature call and a lot
more.
