Episode description

This time we talk about the senses of hearing, sight, and touch. Our hearing changes over our lives, as evidenced by the high-pitched sounds that adults can't hear. We also talk about how our eyes see color and why some people are color blind. Have you ever felt your phone vibrate, but when you check it, there's no message? Listen to hear about the recent theories behind the phantom vibration phenomenon!

Join us to hear our interview with Brock Grill, PhD, from The Scripps Research Institute Florida! We talk about how the tiny worm, C. elegans, senses touch and what that tells us about the human nervous system!
