Sense qualities {conscious experience} {phenomenal character} {phenomenal experience} {phenomenal property} {phenomenally conscious mental state} {phenomenological property} {qualitative character} {qualitative state} {raw feel} {sense quality} {sensory quality} {subjective quality} can be what something is like to observer, rather than physically is. Qualia are ways things seem when awake, dreaming, or hallucinating.
comparisons
Experience differs from awareness because it has meaning. Sensations of reality, illusions, and hallucinations are similar. Experience differs from perception because it requires awareness. People can know that they are having experience and can know its type. However, phenomena then are about perception rather than object.
types
Sensations are colors, sounds, touches, temperatures, smells, and tastes. Sensations track feature and object positions, momenta, energies, and times. Sensations correspond to physical intensities, frequencies, materials, and other properties. Tastes are liquid-like. Smells are gaseous-like. Touches are surface contours and motions. Sounds are vibratory. Sights are surfaces.
People hear sounds, which have loudness intensity and tone frequency. People can hear thousands of tones. Sounds have harmonics, with fundamentals and overtones.
People smell air molecules, based on molecule shapes, sizes, rotations, and vibrations, at different intensities. People can smell thousands of smells. Olfaction sense qualities are acrid or vinegary, floral, foul or sulfurous, fruity, minty, ethereal like pear, musky, resinous or camphorous, smoky, and sweet.
People taste molecules dissolved in water, based on molecule polarities and acidities, at different intensities. Gustation sense qualities are saltiness, sourness, sweetness, bitterness, and savoriness.
People feel compression, tension, and torsion pressure, at different intensities. People feel temperature by random molecule motions. People can feel gentle touch, motion, shape, sliding, texture, tickle, vibration, warmth, and coolness.
People can see visible light. People can see millions of hues, including blacks, whites, grays, and browns, with different brightness and saturation.
field
People can be conscious of many events and objects simultaneously. Subject experience has one moving viewpoint, which differs from others' viewpoints. Observation is having sensations. Observed and observer are an observing system. Processing and memory registers are observations, and reader and writer are observers. High-level perception builds scene, perceptual space, or phenomenal world, which is like ovoid including eye, face, periphery, front, and focal point. Unusual body motions can break sense-field coherence [Bayne and Chalmers, 2003] [Cleeremans, 2003].
Perception uses a self-centered egocentric reference frame, which has forward point during motion, receiving point for incoming stimuli, and vestibular-system gravity-aligned vertical axis. Consciousness has world-centered or object-centered allocentric reference frame, which has two horizontal axes and vertical axis.
variation
Verbal reports indicate that most people have similar sensations. Gene alleles, culture, and age can vary experiences. Sense qualities of yellow can change with age. Sensitivity, acuity, precision, accuracy, discrimination, and generalization can vary. Conscious activities change often.
properties
Sensations always have location, size, duration, time, intensity, and phenomenal sense qualities. Phenomena can shift, compress, stretch, twist, rotate, or flip.
Sensations are continuous, with no discontinuities, no gaps, and no units [VanRullen and Koch, 2003]. Inputs from small and large regions, and short and long times, integrate to make continuity [Dainton, 2000].
Sensations are immediate, and so not affected by activity, reasoning, or will [Botero, 1999].
Sensations are incorrigible, and so not correctable or improvable by activity, reasoning, or will.
Sensations are ineffable, with no description except their own existence.
Sensations are intrinsic, with no dependence on external processes [Harman, 1990].
Sensations are private, and so not available for others' observation or measurement.
Sensations are privileged, and so not possible to observe except from first-person viewpoint [Alston, 1971].
Sensations are subjective, and so intrinsic, private, privileged, and not objective [Kriegel, 2005] [Nagel, 1979] [Tye, 1986]. Subject experience belongs only to subject. No one else can have that experience or know it. Physical objects, such as stars, have no owner or have other owners, such as cars.
Perhaps, phenomena belong to mental state rather than to subject.
Sensations are transparent, with no intermediates [Kind, 2003].
Sensations are analytic, and so, like sounds, independent with no mixing.
Sensations are synthetic, and so, like colors, dependent with mixing.
Sensations are not physical.
Sensations have no mass but have a type of density.
Subjective experiences seem not to be ignorable and have self-intimation.
Sensations always feel indubitable.
Sensations seem unerring and infallible.
Sensations always feel irrevocable.
Sensations are not about microscopic things but about macroscopic regions.
Sensations are not relational and not comparable.
Sensations are the only thing that has meaning, because brain uses them for reference. However, sensations do not always have meaning.
Subject experience is not observable by others and so is personal and not directly communicable, because it has no units with which to measure.
non-locality
Physical events happen locally and instantaneously. Mental relations characteristically relate two or more physically separated points, within one psychologically simultaneous time interval, and so are non-local. Mentality requires time to gather information from separated locations to integrate them. Mentality requires space to gather information from separated times, memories and current perceptions, to integrate them. Perceptions unify local sense processing about features, objects, and events. Mentality unifies separate things into structures or processes.
surface property
Sensations are about surfaces from which information began, not about information carrier to sense organ. Intensity energies carry surface information to sense organs but have no sense qualities. Information channels cannot have sense qualities. For example, electromagnetic radiation has no color. Sound waves have no sound.
Only surfaces can have qualities. Color is not about waves traveling through space but is about surface from which waves emanated. Sound is not about waves traveling through medium but is about surface from which waves emanated.
Visual sense qualities are about surface sizes and reflectances. Aural sense qualities are about surface vibration intensities and frequencies. Touch sense qualities are about surface torsion, compression, hardness, and texture. Taste and smell sense qualities are about surface molecular configurations.
Experience is of objects and events, which people can invent or extend. Cognition, category making, distinction finding, and memory are consciousness foundations [Seager, 1999]. Sensations are about objects, events, and features, which cognition later interprets.
brain
Perhaps, sensations are brain events. However, experiences do not seem to be in brain or be like brain. Brain produces perceptions internally but perceives sensations externally, at spatial positions on surfaces. Consciousness itself does not provide knowledge of things external to mind, only of internal mental things [Seager, 1999].
Perhaps, external references are to object and event concepts or properties, rather than to external objects and events.
Sensations can come from inside and outside body. When thinking, people talk to themselves and hear same sounds as if really talking.
Perhaps, sensations are judgments or dispositions to do something about perceptions.
Animal behaviors make it appear that only humans have experiences.
nature
Perhaps, sense phenomena are physical-object qualities. Identical objects then have same phenomena. However, same person can have different phenomena about same object, and different people can have different phenomena about same object.
Perhaps, sense phenomena are experience or object physical properties. However, experience does not provide access to surface-reflectance relations, other physical properties, or experience relations.
Mind and mental states use thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and moods {propositional attitude, phenomena}, which associate phenomenon with representation or intentional content.
Perhaps, sense phenomena are relations to external or internal objects. However, experience seems to be about object features, not about relations.
Sensations are meaningful because they represent something outside mind [Cummins, 1989] [Cummins, 1996] [Darling, 1993] [Papineau, 1987] [Perner, 1993]. Sensations represent physical data only to level useful for acting quickly and correctly in most situations. However, sensations can be different phenomenon, such as inverted spectrum, though intentional content does not vary. Sensations can be the same, by automatic sense processing, though high-level representations differ, such as Inverted Earth. Experiences, such as feeling depressed, can have no representations.
Perhaps, when representation becomes explicit, it is conscious. Implicit representations are not conscious, though implicit activity can become explicit [Adolphs et al., 1999] [Zeki, 2001].
categorization
Sense processes categorize sensations, breaking continuous values into ranges, such as different colors with different brightnesses. Among senses, ability to categorize depends on pairwise comparisons between multisensory neurons. Within sense, ability to categorize depends on pairwise comparisons between sense neurons [Donald, 1991].
media
Like television, brain receives coded information and translates code into visual array. However, sensations have no substrate or medium to carry them. They are not physical and do not need substrates. They are their own medium.
Having experience is not like looking at holograms, printed pages, or television displays. Those displays have boundaries, whereas sensations have no definite boundary. Those displays cover only some visual field, whereas sensations cover all space. Those displays have controls for adjusting display color, brightness, and contrast, but people cannot will sense-quality changes. Those displays often have distortions or false colors, but sensations are consistent and complete. However, they can distort if people take drugs. Size, flatness, and errors can distinguish displays from real world, but sensations are not distinguishable from real world, because people's memories depend on same abilities. Observers can look away from television displays but cannot look away from sensations. However, observers can look at different sense-quality parts, just as people watching television can look around.
memory
Sensations summarize and categorize whole-field and full-spectrum processing results to compress information for storage and recall. Previous experiences affect later experiences, automatically. Repeating similar experiences changes experience.
labeled lines
Sense organs make same sensations no matter which physical energy strikes them. For example, tapping eye causes light flashes. Receptor stimulation and brain-region stimulation cause same response type.
time
Consciousness requires time to integrate. Time is short enough to be psychologically simultaneous and long enough to integrate locations and parts. Psychologically simultaneous events are within 20-millisecond to 50-millisecond intervals. Features, objects, events, and scenes integrated during this interval automatically associate in space and time.
information
All senses require large information amounts.
passivity
Sense qualities require awake or dreaming brain processing but seem not to need conscious effort or will.
emotions
Colors, sounds, touches, smells, and tastes can convey emotion, such as anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise, and remembrance. Most sensations have no associated emotion. Sensations can attract or repel, so people like or dislike them. People can feel doubt or confidence in statements. Feeling level goes from pleasure to pain. Success level goes from reward to punishment.
Imagine one can look inside brain while it is working {autocerebroscope}, to see all physical activity. How can this activity make many different phenomena?
People can attend to intrinsic, non-intentional experience features, sensations, or sense qualities {qualia}| {quale}.
People have mind and experiences {sentience}|. Sentience requires sensation, perception, awareness, mind, and experience. Sentience is state, not process, and requires no thoughts. Perhaps, only humans are sentient.
Consciousness can experience objects without knowing what they are, only that they are something {aspect nature}.
Conscious or dreaming people having above-threshold stimuli are aware of stimulus energy flow, density, pressure, flux, or amplitude {perceptual intensity}. For example, vision has brightness, and hearing has loudness. Conscious or dreaming people having below-threshold stimuli do not experience intensity. Unconscious people have no intensity awareness. For vision, intensity ranges are specular reflection, brilliant white, white, light gray, gray, dark gray, and black. For sound, ranges are whisper, normal, and intense. For touch, ranges are tickle, light pressure, touch, push, and pain. For taste, ranges are hint, full, and intense. For smell, ranges are whiff, signal, light, definite, strong, and pain.
properties
Intensities comes from surfaces. Intensity is about energy flow, not space or time, but has space and time locations. Sense-receptor membrane depolarization measures intensity, and neuron axon-impulse rate measures intensity. Perceptual intensity depends on stimulus intensity, nearby intensities, memories, and expectations, so intensity is relative. Perceptions do not have actual energy. Intensity has just-noticeable, dull, average, acute, and painful levels. Smallest intensity results from several energy quanta. Intensity is continuous, not continual or discrete. Intensity typically changes, flickers, or fades. Intensity has contrasts.
quality
People do not experience pure intensity. For perceived surface points, perceptual processing integrates remembered and current information about physical-stimulus intensity level and energy type, such as light, into non-physical quality, such as phenomenal bright red, pale yellow, or dark brown. Perceptual intensity and quality unite.
Conscious or dreaming people, having above-threshold stimuli, perceive intensity types {perceptual quality}. Conscious or dreaming people having below-threshold stimuli are not aware of qualities. Unconscious people have no awareness of quality. Perhaps, only mammals experience sense qualities.
types
Hearing can detect formant sound frequency bands. Vision can detect color bands: black, gray, white, red, green, blue, yellow, pink, brown, purple/violet, orange, and indigo/ultramarine. Smell can detect air molecule types: esters, ketones, aldehydes, sulfur compounds, aromatics, and alcohols. Taste can detect water molecule types: salts, acids, bases, glutamate, and sugars. Touch can detect pressure types: tickle, tingle, pain, and pleasure. Touch can detect temperature types: warmth and coolness.
categorization
Sense qualities have quality spectra and overlapping categories. Sense categories form continuous ranges, with categories similar to and opposite from other categories.
properties
Qualities are like coded and compressed intensity-frequency spectra. Qualities are on space surfaces. Qualities are continuous, not discrete. Qualities are not about space, time, or energy, but have space and time locations. Whole image determines sense qualities.
intensity
People do not experience pure quality. Only quality has intensity. Quality categories have intensity.
meaning
Sense qualities are the only things that have meaning.
Conscious or dreaming people are aware of seemingly stationary infinite three-dimensional space {perceptual space} {theater of the mind} {subjective space} {sensory field} {visual field} in and around body, bounded by surfaces near and far. Conscious or dreaming people having below-threshold stimuli are still aware of space. Unconscious people have no awareness of space. Smallest space interval is one millisecond of arc.
properties
Sensations always are at three-dimensional-space locations, with directions and distances. Three planes define space outside head: horizontal at ground, vertical pointing straight-ahead, and vertical and parallel to face one meter away. People are aware only of three-dimensional space, not zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, four-dimensional, or higher-dimensional space. Space is about distance intervals appropriate to body actions, microns to centimeters, not about electrochemical and physical processes taking place at molecular distances. Space does not seem to stretch evenly but can compact and expand. Objects can seem to have longer or shorter extensions depending on nearby-object sizes and orientations. Space does not change, flicker, or fade. Space seems continuous, not discrete. Space has no intensity, density, energy, or mass.
field
People experience sense qualities at different distances. People feel that scenes extend to regions with no sense qualities, such as behind head.
meaning
Space is necessary for meaning, because it provides reference locations.
processing
To construct space, brain processing first constructs body-centered two-dimensional space, then body-centered two-and-a-half dimensional space, which transform during body motions and do not have symbol grounding or sensations.
Three-dimensional space is stationary. Body, head, and eye movements change observer perspective, making different viewpoints. Body, head, and eye movements transform egocentric space coordinates, using mostly translational and vibrational transformations. Sense processing transforms egocentric space coordinates to maintain stationary allocentric space, using mostly rotation transformations. Geometric coordinate transformations maintain spatial relations during eye, head, or body movements. Egocentric-space transformations maintain stationary allocentric space. Sense-processing tensors compensate for body movements that change egocentric space, and coordinate transformations create and maintain allocentric stationary space [Olson et al., 1999] [Pouget and Sejnowski, 1997].
Space uses absolute or relative body-centric and environment-centric coordinates, which are transformed during body movements.
multisensory
All senses seem to share same perceptual space. Cortical vision processing makes three-dimensional perceptual space. Temporal-and-parietal-lobe sound processing makes three-dimensional perceptual space. Hippocampus memory processing makes three-dimensional memory space. Cerebellum sensory-motor processing makes three-dimensional sensory-motor space. Frontal lobe and association cortex merge sensory, memory, and motor spaces to make unified perceptual space.
observer
People feel that they are behind sensory apparatus, observing outward. Observer or self seems to be at three-dimensional-space center.
Conscious or dreaming people are aware of seemingly infinite one-dimensional time {perceptual time}. Conscious or dreaming people having below-threshold stimuli are still aware of time. Unconscious people have no awareness of time. Shortest sensations last one millisecond.
properties
People are aware of one-dimensional time, not zero-dimensional time, two-dimensional time, or higher-dimensional time. Time information must be in real time, so brain does not lose information because processing is too slow, and brain does not need to add information because processing is too fast. Time does not change, flicker, or fade. Time seems continuous, not discrete. Time has past and future, before and after. Time has no intensity or space location.
People experience time flow, which seems faster with more events each second and slower with fewer events each second. Felt time-flow rate differs from brain-processing time-flow rate [Dennett and Kinsbourne, 1992] [Held et al., 1978] [Flaherty, 1999] [Pastor and Artieda, 1996] [Pöppel, 1978] [Pöppel, 1997]. Sense qualities are about time intervals appropriate to body actions, time scale of 20 milliseconds to hours. Sense qualities are not about electrochemical and physical processes at millisecond time intervals nor instantaneous events [Clifford et al., 2003] [Elman, 1990] [Price, 1996].
meaning
Time is necessary for meaning, because it provides references to past, present, and future.
delays
Time consciousness requires time delay. Time delay can use extra loop, temporary store, shuttle, stretch or shrink mechanism, or chemical delays. Circuits can have bypass circuits to adjust time. Main circuit can have inhibition while processing in bypass. Bypass can remove inhibition or overcome it.
multisensory
All senses seem to share same time.
observer
Observer or self seems to be at one-dimensional-time center. Self seems to be observing events in the present, looking backward to memories, and looking forward in imagination. Events circumscribe observer in time, forming envelope around observation point [Sellars, 1963].
Sensations last at least minimum time {minimal perceptual moment}. Perhaps, activation builds until it reaches threshold. Perhaps, positive feedback causes response spiking.
In dangerous situations, people experience shorter moments and decreased time flow {protracted duration}, because they experience more moments per second.
Conscious time seems to cover interval of 1 to 3 seconds {specious present}. Brain processes inputs from many sources, taking time intervals to integrate. Information overlaps over time.
After neurosurgery, memory time markers can move backward in time {backwards referral in time} {subjective referral} {subjective antedating} [Libet, 1993] [Libet et al., 1999].
Consciousness requires minimum stimulation time {Libet's delay} {time-on theory} of 0.5 seconds, no matter what the intensity, to reach neuronal adequacy [Eccles, 1965] [Iggo, 1973] [Koch, 1999] [Libet, 1966] [Libet, 1973] [Libet, 1993] [Libet et al., 1999] [Meador et al., 2000] [Ray et al., 1999].
Consciousness requires minimum stimulation time of 0.5 seconds {neuronal adequacy}, no matter what the intensity [Eccles, 1965] [Iggo, 1973] [Koch, 1999] [Libet, 1966] [Libet, 1973] [Libet, 1993] [Libet et al., 1999] [Meador et al., 2000] [Ray et al., 1999].
Mental faculty {common faculty} {common sense, sensation} compares and associates shapes, sizes, and motions from all senses [Bayne and Chalmers, 2003] [Cleeremans, 2003].
Subject observers can have sensations {observation} of objects observed. Sensations are like reports in parallel. People feel that they are behind sensory apparatus, observing outward. Observations are in three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time. Self seems to be observing events in the present, looking backward to memories, and looking forward in imagination. Events circumscribe observer in time, forming envelope around observation point [Sellars, 1963].
Stimuli can have intensity too low or duration too short for conscious awareness, but information affects behavior {preconscious processing}. EEG and brain blood flows indicate that sense regions, motor regions, association areas, emotion areas, and memory areas are active during unconscious processing.
If attentional load is high, people can be unaware of non-attended stimuli, but information affects behavior. Anesthetized patients can remember and process information, so unconscious processing can affect conscious perceptions. Brain-damaged patients can remember and process information, so unconscious processing can affect conscious perceptions.
Self knows about past, present, and future and can distinguish imagination, memory, and reality {reality monitoring} {reality discrimination} [Sellars, 1963]. People typically can discriminate between what they imagine and what they receive from environment or body [Johnson and Raye, 1981].
Consciousness involves presentation to self {self-presentation} of quality type {cognitive quality}.
Stimuli have three intensity levels that affect same brain regions differently.
objective threshold
Intensity below threshold level {objective threshold, experience} is too low for perception.
perception
Intensity above objective threshold causes non-conscious perception. If stimulus intensity level is above objective threshold but below subjective threshold, stimulus does not become conscious but can influence preferences for same or associated stimuli [Kunst-Wilson and Zajonc, 1980] [Murphy and Zajonc, 1993].
subjective threshold
At higher intensity level {subjective threshold, experience}, people begin to detect sensations. For all senses, consciousness requires intensity level higher than intensity level needed for brain to detect and use stimuli [Dehaene et al., 1998] [Morris et al., 1998] [Morris et al., 1999] [Whalen et al., 1998].
accumulation
Perhaps, activation must build to pass subjective threshold. Building counters dissipative and inhibitory processes and has positive feedback and signal recursion.
feedback
Perhaps, positive feedback must cause response spiking to pass subjective threshold. After spiking, activity falls, but sensations can linger [Cheesman and Merikle, 1984] [Kihlstrom, 1996].
Subjective experiences require relation {symbol grounding, experience} between internal thing or event and external thing or event. External things or events are physical memories or environmental effects. Internal things or events are sensations. Symbol grounding includes both perceptions and mental experiences.
symbol
Symbols are perceptions that label, index, or refer to perceptions or concepts. Both symbol and reference perceptions are mental representations. Perceptions have relations and form reference system. Nothing is intrinsically symbol, because only relations make symbols. As perceptions, symbols have space, time, intensity, and quality. Most symbols are non-conscious, but symbols, such as colors, can be conscious.
symbol system
Most perceptions are objects that are not in systems. Symbols have added meaning, because they have relations in coding systems. Coding systems use symbol sets and have processing mechanisms that have symbol reading, processing, and writing rules. When symbol appears, typically in a symbol series, coding-system processing mechanism follows rules to use symbol. Results/outputs are symbol meaning. Meaning occurs only in symbol systems.
environment
Perhaps, isolated systems cannot have subjective experiences. Perhaps, systems must learn, have memory, or interact with environment. Learning can supply outside information. Memory can supply secondary information sources. Environment can provide intention references [Harnad, 1990] [McGinn, 1987] [McGinn, 1989] [McGinn, 1991] [McGinn, 1999] [Velmans, 1996] [Velmans, 2000]. For example, computer programs on installation CDs do not interact with other information {isolation, system}. They cannot run, receive input, or produce output. Installing programs on computers allows programs to receive environment input, so they can establish references to real things [Chalmers, 1996] [Chalmers, 2000].
People can have different awake-consciousness levels {alertness}|. Alertness can be high, normal, or low. Physiological factors, such as hormones, stimulation level, novelty, nutrient levels, sleepiness, diseases, and moods, set alertness level. All mammals have alertness levels.
Experience seems to happen immediately or in one step {immediacy}. Activity, reasoning, or will does not affect phenomenal-experience generation [Botero, 1999]. People cannot be aware of brain processing. Sensations are after processing. Sensations appear and do not change. Processing does not continue, and quality does not become more refined. (Quality can change with new information.) Perhaps, quality reaches optimum, then equilibrium holds. Perhaps, brain modifies processing to trick consciousness.
Activity, reasoning, or will cannot correct or improve sensations {incorrigibility}| [Seager, 1999]. People cannot be aware of brain processing. Sensations are after processing. Sensations appear and do not change. Processing does not continue, and quality does not become more refined. (Quality can change with new information.) Sensations can misidentify. Sensations can misremember.
Sensations are complex and can have no description except their own existence {ineffability}|. Nothing can substitute for experience. Knowledge about experience requires having the experience [Harman, 1990]. However, language can describe sense-quality properties.
Subjects are integrated sets of sensations, which depend only on internal processes. Experience is a property, state, process, or essence of subjects {intrinsicness}. Experience depends on subject structures and functions. Alternatively, subject can have experiences [Seager, 1999]. Experience does not need screen or external aid. Experience does not depend on external things or events.
Perhaps, consciousness requires ineffability, intrinsicness, immediacy, and privateness {3I-P} {minimal properties of consciousness}.
Object properties seem to belong to object and thus associate {object unity}. For example, object can be red and spherical. Subject perceives red spherical object, not red object and spherical object with a relation. There is only one object, not two objects. Phenomena link in objects [Seager, 1999].
All experiences, including thoughts, moods, and emotions, at one time associate {phenomenal unity}. For example, sight and sound perceived at nearby locations associate. Brain processing adds links that unify them [Seager, 1999].
Sensations are only available to subject, and direct observation from outside cannot measure them {privateness}. No one else can have the same experience [Seager, 1999].
Only subjects, with first-person viewpoints, can have sensations {privileged access} [Alston, 1971] [Gertler, 2003]. Comparing reactions to experiences and subjective-knowledge reports can result in objective knowledge.
Sensations depend on whole scene or image and fill all of space and time {space-filling}, leaving no gaps or overlaps.
Consciousness happens in people for that person only {subjective character}. Experience is phenomenon to subject, and no other subject can have that experience [Davidson, 2001] [Georgalis, 2005] [Kriegel, 2005] [Nagel, 1979] [Shoemaker, 1996] [Tye, 1986].
People do not perceive experience qualities but only object properties and qualities {transparency, consciousness}. Experiences do not themselves have knowable phenomena or properties [Kind, 2003] [Loar, 2002]. After experiencing object properties, people are only aware that they are having experiences of phenomenal character. Subject can perceive no intermediate to experiences, which are immediately available. Hallucinations are only about object properties.
Hearing does not mix tones {analytic sense}. Analytic senses analyze signals from source into independent elements. Touch, smell, and taste are both synthetic and analytic.
Vision mixes colors {synthetic sense}. Synthetic senses mix signals from source to synthesize resultant sensation. Touch, smell, and taste are both synthetic and analytic.
