Understanding Your Senses

Your senses allow you to perceive and gain information about the world around you. Your major senses include sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and others, each detected by a sense organ that sends signals to the brain to be processed.
Understanding how your senses work â as well as their limits and how they can be extended or improved â helps you better appreciate and interact with your environment.
These online lessons explain how your senses work and how you can make the most of them.
