Abstract
This article introduces the concept of digital self-perception or of a “digital sense” as a "new human sense" emerging during the digital era. A study involving 100 participants demonstrated how digital interactions can activate a distinct perceptual faculty, expanding and integrating traditional sensory boundaries. Data reveal generational differences in digital familiarity, perceptual adaptation, and the intuitive navigation of digital environments. Although preliminary, these findings lay the groundwork for future testing and the development of a set of tests aimed at verifying the existence of digital self-perception as an autonomous, measurable cognitive-perceptual construct.
