Genom våra sinnen upplever och tolkar vi världen. Men med åldern försämras sinnena och det händer också att vi förlorar funktionen av ett sinne på grund av sjukdom eller en skada. Här reflekterar sju av Lunds universitets sinnesforskare över våra sinnen och hur vi i viss mån kan träna upp ett försvagat sinne.
