Aspects of the topic senses are discussed in the following places at Britannica.
--
* information processing (in information processing: Elements of information processing)
Humans receive information with their senses: sounds through hearing; images and text through sight; shape, temperature, and affection through touch; and odours through smell. To interpret the signals received from the senses, humans have developed and learned complex systems of languages consisting of “alphabets” of symbols and stimuli and the associated rules of usage. This has...

(in animal (biology): The senses)
--
At this level of analysis, questions concern the physiological machinery underlying an animal’s behaviour. Behaviour is explained in terms of the firings of the neural circuits between reception of the stimuli (sensory input) and movements of the muscles (motor output). Consider, for example, a worker honeybee (Apis mellifera) flying...
* arachnids (in arachnid (arthropod): Nervous system and sense organs)
There are commonly three types of sense organs: tactile hairs called trichobothria, simple eyes (ocelli), and slit (lyriform) sense organs. Specialized structures, possibly serving as tactile organs or detectors of air movements, include malleoli (racket organs) of sunspiders and...
+ mites and ticks (in acarid (arachnid): External features)
--
+ scorpions (in scorpion (arachnid): Internal features)
Scorpions perceive the world through visual, tactile, and chemical sense organs. Their eyes cannot form sharp images, but their central eyes are among the most sensitive to light in the animal kingdom. Evidently they can navigate at night by using shadows cast by starlight. Lateral eyes (ocelli) sense only changes in light intensity and are...
+ spiders (in spider (arachnid): Nervous system and senses)
The nervous system of spiders, unlike that of other arachnids, is completely concentrated in the cephalothorax. The masses of nervous tissue (ganglia) are fused with a ganglion found under the esophagus and below and behind the brain. The shape of the brain, or epipharyngeal ganglion, somewhat reflects the habits of the spider; i.e., in the web builders, which are sensitive to touch, the...

* fish (in fish (animal): Behaviour;
Fishes perceive the world around them by the usual senses of sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste and by special lateral line water-current detectors. In the few fishes that generate electric fields, a process that might best be called electrolocation aids in perception. One or another of these senses often is emphasized at the expense...

* mollusks (in mollusk (animal phylum): The nervous system and organs of sensation)
In the nervous system typical of mollusks, a pair of cerebral ganglia (masses of nerve cell bodies) innervate the head, mouth, and associated sense organs. From the dorsal cerebral ganglia, two pairs of longitudinal nerve cords arise: a pair of lateral (pleural) nerve cords, often...
* organs (in physiology: Information transfer)
The analysis of sensory functions also extends to the cellular level. Sense organs are diverse in structure and sensitivity to specific stimuli. It may be that the common molecular basis for the differences in sensitivity is a change in permeability of a special region of the membrane surrounding a sensory cell. This change in permeability could allow a ...
* primates (in primate (mammal): Sensory reception and the brain)
Among mammals in general, the olfactory system is the primary receptor for environmental information; consequently, the brain of most mammals is dominated by the olfactory centres. In primates the sense of smell is considerably less important than the well-developed visual system and highly refined sense of touch. The primate brain is...

* epistemology (in epistemology (philosophy): Knowledge of the external world;
One possible answer is to say that vision is not sufficient to give knowledge of how things are. Vision needs to be “corrected” with information derived from the other senses. Suppose then that a person asserts that his reason for believing that the stick in water is straight is that, when the stick is in water, he can feel with his hands that it is straight. But what justifies him...

+ Aristotle (in Aristotle (Greek philosopher): Philosophy of mind)
Besides the five senses and the central sense, Aristotle recognizes other faculties that later came to be grouped together as the “inner senses,” notably imagination and memory. Even at the purely philosophical level, however, Aristotle’s accounts of the inner senses are unrewarding.
+ Berkeley (in George Berkeley (Irish philosopher))
Anglo-Irish Anglican bishop, philosopher, and scientist, best known for his Empiricist philosophy, which holds that everything save the spiritual exists only insofar as it is perceived by the senses.
+ Lewis (in C.I. Lewis (American philosopher and logician))
...philosophical concepts in the manner of Kant as rooted in empirical reality. Knowledge, he believed, is possible only where there is a possibility of error. Thus, he modified the traditional view of sensory experience, which regards it as a guarantee of true knowledge and certainty about reality because an individual cannot possibly be mistaken about the sheer impressions given by the senses....
+ Locke (in history of Europe: The influence of Locke)
...innate ideas, in Locke’s system knowledge consists of ideas imprinted on the mind through observation of external objects and reflection on the evidence provided by the senses. Moral values, Locke held, are derived from sensations of pleasure or pain, the mind labeling good what experience shows to give pleasure. There are no innate ideas; there is no innate...
+ Lucretius (in Lucretius (Latin poet and philosopher): Argument of the poem.)
4. Men know by sense perception and argue by reason according to certain rules. Though the senses are infallible, reason can make false inferences. Objects can be seen because they discharge from their surface representative films, which strike the eye just as smells strike the nose. Separate atoms are in principle imperceptible, having no dischargeable parts. The senses perceive the properties...
