The Sensologists briefing

⭐ The latest multi-sensory science & innovation curated for you in bite-sized portions (crossmodal, neuroscience, tech & design) ⭐ Your go-to resource for cutting-edge sensory news in under 10-mins.

This briefing explores how sensory science is shaping technology, identity, and perception.

Researchers are building brain-like sensors from ultra-thin materials, and a new shop in San Francisco is scanning eyes to create digital IDs. Studies reveal why some people remember dreams more clearly, how handwriting helps children learn to read, and how your thoughts influence what you see. A new colour, possibly never seen before, has been created in the lab using targeted light.

You’ll also find insights into scent’s cultural role, how touch is being restored through brain-computer interfaces, and how sound might make food taste spicier.

These studies reflect how multi-sensory science is becoming part of everyday systems from learning and emotion to design and digital identity.
