The Psychology of Senses | Compilation

The video explores the complexity of human senses, discussing phenomena like Veer, blindsight, and the rubber hand illusion. It highlights how senses can overlap, leading to unique experiences like synesthesia and subconscious vision. The role of smell in emotional contagion and the psychological effects of fast food on impatience are also examined. The video concludes by challenging the traditional notion of five senses, suggesting a broader understanding of sensory perception.

What is Veer, as discussed in the video?

• A type of synesthesia where sounds evoke visual responses

• A reflex action in response to loud noises

• A phenomenon where silent GIFs appear to produce sound

• A condition where people can see without knowing

What is one theory about why Veer occurs?

• A defect in the visual cortex

• A malfunction in the auditory cortex

• Increased communication between sensory areas

• A genetic mutation

Which part of the brain is primarily associated with blindsight?

• Thalamus

• Amygdala

• V1 region

• Hippocampus

How does the video describe the role of the amygdala in blindsight?

• It controls voluntary movements

• It responds to visual signals subconsciously

• It processes conscious visual information

• It is responsible for auditory processing

How can smell influence our emotions according to the video?

• By enhancing our sense of taste

• By transmitting chemical signals that affect us subconsciously

• Through visual cues associated with smells

• By directly altering brain chemistry

What is the significance of chemo signals in human interaction?

• They are irrelevant to human emotions

• They only affect animals

• They are used in food flavoring

• They play a role in emotional contagion

What is the rubber hand illusion used for in therapy?

• To treat phantom limb pain

• To increase physical strength

• To improve memory retention

• To enhance auditory perception

What is a potential application of the rubber hand illusion in virtual reality?

• To increase screen resolution

• To enhance color perception

• To improve sound quality

• To create more immersive video games

What does the video suggest about the traditional five senses?

• They are irrelevant in modern science

• They are a simplified view of a more complex system

• They are the only senses recognized by science

• They encompass all human sensory experiences

What does the video suggest about the number of human senses?

• There are exactly five senses

• There are no senses beyond the traditional five

• There are potentially many more than five senses

• There are only three senses
