Wie viele Sinne hat der Mensch? Die klassischen fünf? Oder sechs? Oder sieben? Vielleicht noch mehr? Jüngste Forschungen haben gezeigt, dass wir eigentlich mindestens 32 Sinne haben. Die preisgekrönte Wissenschaftsautorin Emma Young nimmt uns mit auf eine aufregende sensorische Reise und verrät, wie wir Dinge schmecken, ohne unsere Zunge zu benutzen, warum Fluchen gut für uns ist und warum sowohl Schokolade als auch Achterbahnen uns helfen können, uns zu verlieben. Sie zeigt, wie Berührungen Schmerzen lindern, wie das Messen des Pulses uns fitter macht und warum ABBAs Dancing Queen in Bolivien anders klingt. Supersinne enthüllt die Wissenschaft, die hinter Fähigkeiten von blinden Ballerinas, Vodoo Priesteren und einer Krankenschwester, die Parkinson riechen kann, bevor die Krankheit diagnostiziert wird, steckt. Wie können wir alle lernen, unsere Sinne besser zu nutzen? Kann mehr Sensibilität uns glücklicher, gesünder oder gar reicher machen? In diesem Buch finden Sie die Antworten.
