ELI5, what is proprioception
In: 58
And let me just add to the previous answers, that proprioception is one of your senses. As has been discussed elsewhere, if you were taught ins school that we have five senses, that is a lie. Balance is another one, and is closely tied to proprioception.
Interesting personal note, one in a long while when I let my mind wander, my proprioception sometimes blanks out. It’s like a panic moment… “Where the ell is my left foot right now??” Happens rarely, mostly when I daydream. I wonder if it happens to anyone else.
Oh, and read Oliver Sacks books, especially “The man who mistook his wife for a hat.” He’s a neurologist and very entertaining author, and he writes about cases where the normal parts of our brain go wrong or are damaged by a stroke, for instance.
