Myth: Your eyes see, your ears hear, and your skin feels

All of your sensations are computed in your brain.

• You see with your brain, based on what is in your brain and the sense data from your eyes.
• You hear with your brain as it makes sense of sounds based partly on the data from your ears.
• Your skin has no sensors for wetness. Instead, your brain combines several sources of information, including touch, temperature, and knowledge from experience, to create a feeling of being wet.
