“When you talk to people who have been in combat, there's a sensory overload that happens. The color becomes vivid. Sounds become more pronounced. People talk about how, for them, the war was technicolor and real life was black and white after the war.” PeopleHas BeensWarRealHappensSoundBlackWhiteColorReal LifeCombatBlack And WhiteVividSensoryOverload Author:David Ayer
“I think we love bacon because it has all the qualities of an amazing sensory experience. When we cook it, the sizzling sound is so appetizing, the aroma is maddening, the crunch of the texture is so gratifying and the taste delivers every time.” ThinkingSoundQualityTasteCooksTextureSensoryAromaCrunchSizzlingCrunch Time Author:Alexandra Guarnaschelli
“Predating the Internet and predating videos, you had an active imagination. You would hear sounds and then get mental pictures of what these sounds felt like to you. It engaged you and made you more invested in it. It made you want to get tickets to the show, buy the album, put the poster on the wall. Now it's sensory overload.” WantMadeShowsFeltSoundImaginationWallInternetAlbumsActiveVideoEngagedTicketsPostersSensoryOverload Author:Q-Tip
“Esse est percipi, to be is to be perceived, said good old Berkeley; but, according to most philosophers, he was wrong. Yet, obviously, there are things for which the adage holds. Perception, trivially, to begin with. If elements of conscious awareness--pains, tickles, feelings of heat and cold, sensory qualia of colors, sounds, and the like--have any existence, it must consist in their being perceived by a subject.... This shows, of course, that such experiences are epiphenomenal, at least with respect to the physical world.” IfsWorldSaidShowsFeelingsPainCoursesSoundExistenceSubjectsAwarenessColorColdElementsPerceptionConsciousPhilosopherHeatAdagesSensoryConscious AwarenessBerkeleyHeat And Cold Author:Zeno Vendler
