There is much debate over what somatosense is and whether or not it truly exists. Many believe that somatosense refers to only the sense of touch, while others claim it incorporates additional senses such as pressure and temperature. However, no matter what anyone believes, there is no doubting the importance of somatosense in our everyday lives. When it comes to performing basic tasks such as brushing teeth or grabbing a coffee mug, our hands and other hands are essential.

But what else is somatosense responsible for? For example, there are studies that suggest somatosense can also be used to understand the world around us.
