What is the use of your senses to understand the world around you?
We use our senses to gather and respond to information about our environment, which aids our survival. Each sense provides different information which is combined and interpreted by our brain. Which sense is dominant varies between different animals, as well as which is the most sensitive.
How do our senses perceive the world?
Amazingly, our senses have the ability to convert real-world information into electrical information that can be processed by the brain. The way we interpret this information– our perceptions– is what leads to our experiences of the world.
How does the five senses affect perception?

Why are the five senses important to living organisms?
As a living organism, it’s important for you to be able to sense and respond to the environment around you. Humans and many other animals have five main senses that help them understand the world around them. How do each of these senses work, and what happens when they don’t work properly?
Are there any machines that respond to the five senses?
Even scientists were guilty of underappreciating the complexity of the senses. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, when computers were in their infancy, the thinking was that it would take a decade or so to build “perceiving machines” that could respond to sight, sound, touch and so on as well as a human being. Such a machine still doesn’t exist.
