As humans, we can experience four touch sensations: cold, heat, contact and pain. While it is powerful due to our nerve endings shooting information into our brains (particularly when it comes to pain), it’s not the top sense. So it must be the strongest sense, right? Not quite. The feeling of touch is spread throughout the entire body via the largest organ in our body, our skin. Part of the brain worked: The occipital lobe in the back of the brain and the temporal lobes, which are responsible for short-term memory, speech and music are the biggest receptors of sight.įun fact : We can see between 2-7 million different colors Which is good because if it wasn’t for the brain, we’d be seeing everything upside down. All this happens in the blink of an eye (literally), as it sends the information to the brain via the optic nerve. Cones allow us to see color and rods help with seeing when its dark and peripheral vision.
Our retinas are covered with two light sensitive cells – cones and rods. Using a lens at the front of the eyeball, we can focus the images that we see onto the retina at the back of the eye, like the organic version of a mechanical camera. Well, first let’s get a little more familiar with each – how they work, what part of the brain they stimulate and how they affect our memory. Each one used to get through daily functions and recall memories.īut with five senses all working both together and separately, which one trumps the rest? And in case you’re a little rusty on your grade school science, your five senses are taste, smell, sight, touch and sound. Unless you’re the little boy from the Sixth sense, you’re like the rest of us five sense people.
