[Marsha] There are six senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and mind. Perceptual awareness may be of a mental pattern. These six senses of perception seem to cover everything.
[Krimel] The number of senses is a bit arbitrary. Them as several senses that get lumped under touch: pain, proprioception, balance, and heat to name the most obvious. But "mind" is most assuredly not a "sense". Sensation refers to the activation of the various receptor cells in our bodies that convert energy from the environment, (light, motion and chemistry) into nervous impulses. Perception is an entirely different process but I often fear that people here either do not understand or do not recognize the distinction. Perception is, specifically, the process of making sense of the senses. It is the mental process of organizing sense data into meaning. Perception is the act of creating illusions.
