In recent years biotech research in the five senses (exteroception) has gained attention. Vision typically receives most of the attention in despite of odour for example.
Beyond the classic five senses (however human perception also importantly includes interoception and proprioception. Interoception is the sensations from inside the body (heart beat, respiration and activity related to emotions). Proprioception is the body's sense of movement, action, and location. We combine a repertoire of neuroscience methods (e.g. biorhythms and biomagnetism) with biomarkers (proteomics), which allow us a holistic perspective of the organism as whole. This encompassing methodological approach allows us to answer with confidence questions about whether an intervention has reduced stress or whether a perceptual object makes us feel good, or determine whether a specific designed space enhances learning activity. These methods are specifically insightful when we combine them with experimental phenomenology and cross the data between first person reports and bodily states. |
