À propos de cet audio

You think you have five senses, but what if the most important one—the one that constructs your reality—is completely invisible? Close your eyes and touch your nose. How did you do that without seeing? The answer is proprioception, your true, biological sixth sense. This is the real "Matrix," the hidden network that allows you to know where your body is in space at all times.

Join us as we unplug from the ordinary and dive into the extraordinary science of the somatosensory system. We'll explore how a complex web of sensory receptors in your muscles and joints creates a "body map" in your brain, allowing for everything from perfect balance to learning a new skill. We'll also tell the incredible story of a man who lost this sense entirely and had to learn to move again by consciously watching his limbs.

But what happens when modern technology, like Immersive Virtual Reality (VR), hijacks this ancient system? This isn't just a science lesson; it's an exploration into the very foundation of your physical self, and how fragile that sense of self can be.

If you love a good mind-bender that reveals a hidden layer of human experience, this episode is your new obsession. Follow our podcast, share this with anyone who loves to understand how their brain works, and let's decode the sixth sense together.
