Brian resnok i says we have more sensations than just these five broad categories. What other kinds of senses could there be beyond the five? So you have a sense of like, stuff going on inside your body. Sometimes this is called interrception. And maybe each component of this is a different sense. Oratheres, even senses where it's kind of hard to sense them, if that makes sense.
