How the Brain Integrates Information From the Five Human Senses to Produce a Coherent Impression of Reality

It was a surprise to me to learn that our senses interact with each other a lot more than I thought to give our perception of the world around us and in particular the things we eat and drink. So many fascinating examples and intriguing research conducted in this area.

See Jono's sketch of Crossmodal Perception here.

We also mentioned Jono's proprioception sketch.

Here's the YouTube video of the McGurk Effect.

And here's that silly but quite funny police dashcam video of the driver getting caught out being drunk. We do not condone this behaviour.

Any specific examples of crossmodal perception that you're aware of? We'd love to hear from you. Let us know at hello@sketchplanations.com or by leaving comments and messages for this episode on Instagram or Twitter.

You can find all three of us on Social Media here too: Jono Hey, Tom Pellereau, Rob Bell.
