Episode notes

What we think of generally as a sense of touch may be many senses that we just sort of group together for convenience. And isn't this the case? It like all the senses that we've heard of on this series too. So, like e in meredith's story about taste, like just listening to how hard it is to isolate what taste is from scent or texture. Like understanding how complicated these systems are and how much they do potentially overlap yet.

Why stop at five senses? Just how much of the world can we perceive? And how much is out there that’s still out of reach, hiding in the dark?

This is the sixth and final episode of our six-part series, Making Sense.
