I did some autism training tonight. I was surprised to find out that there are not just 5 senses but 8!
The other three where completely new to me!
- Vestibular - sense of balance
- Proprioceptive - sensations from muscles and joints
- Interoception - sense of our internal organs eg. thirst, hunger
I wonder if these three senses become more important during space travel or maybe in the future with the colonisation of Mars?
Maybe these other senses will come into their own in a future humanity.
What do you think?
