| | Sense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields, most notably neuroscience, cognitive psychology (or cognitive science), and philosophy of perception. | | | Touch or taction is the sense of pressure perception, generally in the skin. | | | Hearing or audition is the sense of sound perception and results from tiny hair fibres in the inner ear detecting the motion of a membrane which vibrates in response to changes in the pressure exerted by atmospheric particles within (at best) a range of 9 to 20000 Hz, however this changes for each individual. |

| | The Senses |
| | The senses cannot be understood except by careful separation of the physical and objective stimulus from the mental and subjective perception. | | | The contact senses are important in the development of the infant, especially the visual sense. | | | All senses have the widest dynamic range possible, which is greatest in hearing, and least in touch or taste, made possible by a logarithmic response. |

| | Aging changes in the senses |
| | Fortunately, many of the aging changes in the senses can be compensated for with equipment such as glasses and hearing aids or by minor changes in lifestyle. | | | Your senses become less acute, and you may have trouble distinguishing details. | | | The sense of touch also includes awareness of vibrations and pain. |

| | PROMOTING ATTACHMENT THROUGH THE SENSES by Patricia Irwin Johnston, MS |
| | Because their primary intellectual task during the first few months of their lives involves learning to use all of their senses and developing motor skills, each of a baby's senses is finely tuned and he is acutely aware of any and all changes. | | | A baby's sense of smell is stimulated by a variety of odors in his environment. | | | These are some ways that you can adapt and retrofit your home's environment to include some of the familiar comforts of the place in which your baby lived before he came home to you. |

| | Basic Mc Luhan: Marshall McLuhan and the Senses |
| | Environments in McLuhan's sense are colossal misconceptions that have little legitimacy in experience. | | | The key problem for the rest of us in understanding the present is that the language itself lags behind the experience, trapped in some outmoded situation. | | | As when the loss of sight intensifies smell and hearing, or weak vision intensifies hearing, so societies adjust to the sensory topology prevalent in the populace. |

| | Playing to the senses: food as a performance medium. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett |

| | The Senses in Law ["Coming to Our Senses: Communication and Legal Expression in Performance Cultures"] - Professor ... |
| | Perhaps by gaining a greater appreciation of communication and legal expression in cultures not dominated by writing, we may indirectly familiarize ourselves with (and prepare ourselves for) some of the forms that learning and law are likely to take once our own "age of writing" has passed. | | | This article examines how cultures having little or no experience with writing ("performance cultures") communicate and express legal meaning through the orchestrated use of the physical senses. | | | From that point, I will investigate methods of performative communication that use the savory senses of smell and taste, and will analyze how those media are put to legal purposes. |
