Author Gyorgy Adam maintains there is a type of sensory system active
within the internal organs that appears to be, in some measure,
independent of the traditional senses. Variously termed viscerosensory
perception, internal perception, or internal cognition, this system
operates largely outside of consciousness. Adam employs the extensive
data he has gathered over many years to demonstrate how "hidden"
internal signals originating in the alimentary tract, the cardiovascular
system, and the kidneys may influence emotional states. Visceral
Perception is the only comprehensive treatment of this elusive subject.
