Complex And Crucially Important, The Senses Collect The Massive Amount Of Information We Need To Navigate Daily Life, And Serve As A Filter Between Our Inner Selves And The Larger World. But The Science Of How The Senses Work Has Been Little Understood - Until Now. New Research Is Rapidly Uncovering Fascinating Insights Into How The Brain Processes Sensory Information. It's Not Simply A Matter Of The Brain Controlling The Senses; The Senses Actually Stimulate Brain Development. For Example, The Brain's Sound-processing Centers Mature Properly Only When Sound Impulses Trigger Them To Do So - Which Is Why Cochlear Implants Are Best Used Before The Age Of Three. Brain Sense Reveals This And A Wealth Of Findings On How The Brain And Senses Interact, As It Examines Each Of The Five Major Senses: Touch, Smell, Taste, Vision, And Hearing.--jacket.
