: the physiological response of a sense organ to a chemical stimulus



Challenging the senses and exploring our brains ability to sometimes affect uncontrollable systems is key. The base response system of chemoreception is built into our brains deeper functions. Often our reaction to environment is a dark and hormonal mix of signals beyond our conscious minds.



The electrical signals sent to our brains influence individual parts of the whole. No part is ever fully aware of the situation, we rely on instinct and chance to get us though. What is true one minute may not be so the next. We act on incomplete knowledge.



Crickets rely on chemical communication, they chirp to attract a mate, the most basic function of life.
