The 5 Senses Model is a Load of Crap

Another load of bullcrap they teach us in Elementary School.

Off the top of my head, I can list at least fifteen independent senses not mentioned in the five senses model, not all of which can be voluntarily acted upon. The five senses model completely ignores the body's internal senses.

Vision

Light frequency (color)

Light amplitude (black and white)

These are independent of each other.

Internal

Time

Blood sugar levels

Blood oxygen levels

Muscular lactate levels

Heart rate

Vestibular proprioception (sense of being upright or upside down)

Acceleration perception

Kinesthetic perception (how you perceive your body position in 3D space)

Peepee time sense

Vascoconstriction (amount of blood vessel dilation)

Gag sense (reflex)

Stomach stretchy fullness how-hungry-am-I sense

Touch

Warmth

Coolth (It is a word now)

Pressure

Pain

These too are independent of each other. Factoid: Hot= Warm + Pain. Cold= Cool + Pain. We don't have a 'hot' or 'cold' sense, just warm or cool.

Hearing

Amplitude (loudness)

Frequency/ wavelength (pitch)

It is debated whether or not these two are independent. See Place Theory and Temporal Theory.

Phase (direction of incoming sound signal)

Changes in air pressure
