How many senses do you think you have? If you said five, you’re not alone—but you’re also missing a huge part of the story.

Our recent group English conversation class explored human perception, and the discussion was eye-opening. We discovered that the simple five-sense model we all learned in school, first identified by Aristotle over 2,000 years ago, barely scratches the surface.
