Human SensesStagione 1
Prepare to experience your senses put to the test. Fibre optic cameras inside the body capture our senses in action.
Live action combined with special effects creates incredible imagery to convey the ‘feeling’ of how our senses work. For example, as an alarm bell goes off, we ‘see’ the noise, slowed down thousands of times. Ripples of sound roll towards us; we spin around and follow a sound wave as it travels into the dark outer ear canal.

E1SmellWith Negel Marven...What is it about things that smell bad? Do all bad smells have something in common? Compared to some animals, our sense of smell is generally very poor. This episode goes in search of the most disgusting smell in the world, and attempts to discover the basic biological reasons why we like some smells and find others disgusting. - VisionE2
VisionWith Negel Marven...Why is it that humans so good at seeing some things, when at other times their brains prevent them from seeing what’s right in front of their eyes? This programme tells us what our eyes really get up to, with the help of the latest eye-tracking technology and a pair of ‘upside-down goggles’. - TouchE4
TouchWhen it comes to touch, humans are similar to elephants – a few areas of the body are extremely sensitive, like an elephant’s trunk; the rest may as well be covered in thick hide. Experiments with electric shocks, painkillers and hypnosis demonstrate the role of the brain in the experience of physical pain.
