Masterfully executed.
What is this, the Hospital keypad puzzle in Silent Hill 3?
Proprioception. I believe there are around 20 senses. Off the top of my head there’s heat as well.
That’s true, you DO lose a lot of heat through the top of your head.
maybe it’s not a thought bubble, but sweat vapor instead
I’m naming that monstrosity the Emojimunculus
Brain, lightbulb, question mark, or Velociraptor.
A pentagram
Ok, I’ll go with velociraptor. Maybe not as an icon of thought, but I’ll go with it.
A pentagram? Hmmm.
It was used for the five senses by ancient christians
Nice. I didn’t know that.
Me, I would include thought as a sense. And I might even throw in various vague feelings and energies in there too. Which would render the whole sensory field a semi-defined, semi-undefined kind of smear.
So I guess I’m looking for something that says “senses” without being too explicit as to the number or whatever. Something abstracter.
But that said, the pentagram is way better than anything I’ve found so far. Thanks.

That doesn’t read too well to me. I was thinking a generic puffy cloud.
Brain, question mark, or a cloud.
I was thinking brain too but at icon scale it looks like a lumpy grey bean. I too was thinking cloud. Your basic puffy cumulus.
A thinking cloud shape icon
All three are close: 💬 💡 🧠 🤔
Also, The Thinker or an idea lightbulb with straight lines emanating out.
Nice ones. Thanks.
Disembodied brain in a jar is my vote.
all of the senses collectively
The eye is sometimes used as a synecdoche for the senses as a whole. For example, you might see a sign that says “Be alert for risk of fire” with an open eye symbol on it. But you could easily sense a fire by smell or touch or hearing. Even the phrase “look out” really means beware in a general sense. Vision just predominates in our consciousness and so it gets used as a stand in for the senses as a whole.
Yeah I know. But if you’re talking about “sight” and “all of the senses” in the same paragraph, and using an eye to represent both, then it could get confusing.
Lightbulb or brain, probably.
A book.
Sounds go into the ears, smells go into noses, thoughts go into books.
Interesting idea. I’ll think about that.
