New research reveals humans could have as many as 33 senses

From ScienceDaily

We don’t experience the world through neat, separate senses—everything blends together. Smell, touch, sound, sight, and balance constantly influence one another, shaping how food tastes, objects feel, and even how heavy our bodies seem. Scientists now believe humans may have more than 20 distinct senses working at once. Everyday illusions and experiences reveal just how surprisingly complex perception really is.

When we spend hours focused on screens, it is easy to forget that our bodies are constantly processing far more than images and noise. Yet our senses are always active. When we slow down or become more aware, we notice the texture of surfaces, the tension in our muscles, or the softness of food in our hands.
