Emotional events are sensory inputs? Suppose I'm mulling over two
concepts in my head -- very abstract concepts like, say, government and
freedom, which are themselves difficult to map back to any sensory
input. Suddenly I realize a novel interrelationship between the two and
experience that wonderful "eureka!" feeling. Given the definition of
sensory you've provided, which sense organ is associated with the
experience?
