Recent scientific research has challenged the traditional understanding that humans possess only five senses, suggesting instead that there could be between 22 and 33 senses. According to Aaj TV Latest, experts from the University of London's School of Advanced Study and Oxford University's Crossmodal Laboratory have identified additional senses such as proprioception, which allows awareness of body position without sight, and interoception, which senses internal body states like hunger. Professor Charles Spence from Oxford highlights that these findings emphasize the complexity of the human sensory system, which integrates multiple sensory inputs to create a cohesive experience. The study also reveals that taste is not solely dependent on taste buds but is significantly influenced by the sense of smell, as exemplified by how flavors like strawberry and raspberry are perceived through a combination of taste and olfactory senses.
