About this ebook
""Five Senses"" explores the fascinating world of sensory perception, revealing how sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell shape our understanding of reality.
This book delves into the biological mechanisms and psychological processes behind how we perceive the world and how these senses protect us from danger.
For instance, our senses aren't just passive receivers of information; they actively interpret stimuli based on past experiences, making us susceptible to sensory illusions.
The book traces the evolution of our understanding of the senses, from philosophical inquiries to modern neuroscience, emphasizing the brain's active role in shaping our perceptions.
