How many are the senses of the human being?

Posted in Technology & Research

“You have a sixth sense” it is said attributing someone else a sort of super-power, which goes beyond the canonical five senses. Yet the known senses are well over five. To be exact, there are 9, not to mention the secondary senses, which would bring the list down to 21, depending on how you define a sense. Perhaps the simplest definition is: a sense is a channel through which your body can observe itself or the outside world.
