This would have far-reaching consequences, as she would no longer be able to enjoy a meal at her favourite Italian restaurant – farewell, good food – and she could save on the glass of red wine since tap water would do just as well. But her sense of taste returned, and with it an appreciation of how important our senses are to daily life and experience. Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. Our sensory perceptions are crucial and provide a compass through a chaotic world, where countless sensory inputs await us every day, picked up by our sensory organs and decrypted by the brain.
This is also why each of us perceives and understands everything a little differently. We all have our own, unique range of perception, and a mind that categorises everything that we have seen, heard, smelled, tasted, and felt. Every day this filing cabinet is open to new input. And we can experience art and culture with all of our senses.
