Why Sensory Capture Works
Most people live visually-dominant, ignoring rich auditory and tactile information. Intentional sensory capture trains multi-modal awareness, deepening presence and creative material.
Auditory attention activates different brain regions than visual, expanding awareness
Capturing moments externalizes fleeting experiences, enhancing memory
Multi-sensory awareness reduces rumination and increases present focus
How to Capture Senses

Note why it caught your attention
