Terrific! Thank you Tommy!! I'll share it with all our Thanksgiving friends as we use our 33 senses to enjoy the day, the meal, and the fellowship we have with one another..What a lovely gift you have given us with this article...

fascinating piece, thanks! Really good points here re:: sensory division from a reductive neural perspective. So much of our analysis of anything depends on the scale at which we are discussing it. Interoception is absolutely its own sense, but I'd personally still group things like temperature and pain within the category of "touch" (unless it's internal pain).

I like the discussion though, because it does admit the possibility of other senses -- I think we have some that *don't* have neural correlates too.
