Senses are physiological capacities of organisms that provide data for perception. 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. The nervous system has a specific sensory system or organ, dedicated to each sense.

Famous quotes containing the word sense:

    You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Why juggle with the term “bourgeois” in regard to Flaubert? You know quite well that in Flaubert’s sense it was not a class category. In other words, Flaubert in the eyes of Marx was a bourgeois in the Marxist sense, while Marx in Flaubert’s eyes was a bourgeois in a Flaubertian sense.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
