Abstract

This study reveals that humans possess a vibrotactile “sixth sense”. Standing individuals can locate the source of ground vibrations using their feet, relying on timing and/or intensity differences between them. This ability, analogous to binaural hearing, represents a previously unknown channel for human spatial perception.
