We use our five senses to perceive the world around us:
- hearing
- touch
- sight
- smell
- taste
The latest research now includes the sense of balance, proprioception and the sixth sense. To give us a unified and uniform view of what we perceive, our senses have to interact and integrate information correctly.
Our brain processes multi-sensorial interactions extremely fast to give us what we know as perception of reality. Perception is thus a construction or assembly made by all the senses. (www.chuv.ch/nmeuropsy)

Wrong sensory informations:
If one or more of someone’s senses interact and integrate information wrongly, vaguely or irregularly, they will be dysfunctional and behave differently, often in a strange and incomprehensible way.
They can be variously diagnosed as:
- behavioural problems
- ADHD, PDD
- hyperactivity
- auditory disorders
- hyperacusis (sensitivity to sounds)
- slow assimilation capacities
- language disorders
- dyslexia – dyscalculia
- borderline
- autism
- Asperger’s syndrome
