Neuroscientists view perception as a distributed system where multiple signals interact continuously. Any change in sound, smell, or movement can subtly affect the sensation of taste or texture. Despite the dominance of screens in contemporary life, other senses remain active, detecting subtle differences between surfaces and picking up on tension. Many of our sensory experiences are characterized by multiplicity. The primary senses, such as sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, do not operate in isolation but interact to form an integrated perception that links the world around us with our bodies. It is commonly believed that humans have five senses, but modern science now suggests that human perception relies on much more than that.
