Sense

The ability of an organism to detect stimuli inside or outside the body and convert them into nerve signals, including Vision, hearing, Smell, taste, and touch, with some species sensing electric fields.

The 'Five senses' idea hardened for 2,000+ years from Aristotle naming sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch and declaring there's no sixth sense. But modern Neuroscience counts over twenty, including the vestibular sense for balance and proprioception for limb position.
