I was thiking about this earlier... Took a fax off the machine, and smelled the fresh ink, and it immediately took me back to when I was about 13, 14, playing tabletop wargames with my brother... The smell of the paper and ink was exactly the same as the paperwork we used to get my dad to copy for us. Just for a moment it was like being there...
I get that quite a lot, smells can totally cross my brain up and suddenly give me memories strong enough to be almost flashbacks... I can't smell Tommy Girl perfume without thinking of a girl I was in love with once- another ex wore it once and it totally freaked me out. But then, just now I was listening to a Muse track and I could almost see the stage and crowd from the Earl's Court gigs last year. First time I've had that with any other sense... And it was powerful, y'know, almost as real as it was that night. So, what sense do you reckon has the strongest effect on you?

Smell Deffo as i can Smell northwind when the wind direction changes south :P
![]() nah seriously more smells seem to invoke memories rather than sight or touch ,or taste however hearing sounds can also invoke long lost memories (like a noisy neigbour having $ex ) that invokes a memory of when i was courting :P ![]() |

Evidence seems to suggest that smell is the only sense directly "connected to your memory" whatever that means. It certainly seems to be the one that most easily triggers memories.

proprioception (or sense of position), pain, hunger to name but a few. sorry. carry on |

Saw about the 20 senses thing once, half of them are subdivisions of the classic 5 and the other half seemed to be not senses at all, but just normal mental processes- sense of position? Not a sense in the classic, er, sense is it?

As bikers I think a sense of self preservation should come high on the agenda
