  What exactly is a "sixth sense"? - Answerbag.com
Sixth sense is the ability to receive or send information beyond the realm of the five canonical senses (taste, sight, touch, smell, and hearing), or any other sense well known to science (balance, proprioception, etc).
The term 'sixth sense' was coined by German researcher Dr. Rudolf Tischner whose book "Telepathy and Clairvoyance" was written in German in 1920 and published in English in 1925.
Because the definition of sense is vague, the precise definition of extra-sensory is as well, but the term is generally used in reference to humans, to imply sources of information unknown to modern science.

The Sixth Sense opens with Malcolm Crowe, a prominent Philadelphia child psychiatrist (played with refreshing reserve by Bruce Willis), who has received a commendation from the city and is celebrating with his wife Anna (Olivia Williams).
The Sixth Sense examines the ability to comprehend that which is around you, not only in its thematic and plot elements but also in its cinematic structure, where the ability to be misdirected by one's perceptions and presumptions is exploited.

The same genes that give sharks their sixth sense and allow them to detect electrical signals are also responsible for the development of head and facial features in humans, a new study suggests.
This sense is so developed that sharks can find fish hiding under sand by honing in on the weak electrical signals emitted by their twitching muscles.
The development of the electroreceptors is believed to mirror the development of the lateral line, a sense organ in fish that allows them to detect motion in surrounding water.

Traditionally the sixth sense has been defined as intuition, the ability to immediately sense things, and considered to be a form of one-way communication.

All that is needed is for one or two of them to skittishly sense danger and head out; the rest will follow, not necessarily due to some preternatural sense but simple herd instinct.
As with the animals, one needn’t posit a mysterious sixth sense; the other five are more than capable of warning about impending danger.

 SIXTH SENSE
The Sixth Sense is a ghost story, spooky at first and with moments of startling fright.
Malcolm lives with a haunting sense of failure as a therapist and a husband, and Cole is retreating further and further into the madness caused by his visions, but neither of their ghosts are what they appear to be.
The Sixth Sense answers that yes, there are ghosts, and they are terrifying, noisy, and angry, but they are only frightening because those who can see them and communicate with them, like Cole, often have no context for understanding them.

And now joining the fray is "The Sixth Sense", the third feature from sophomore director M. Night Shyamalan ("Wide Awake"), who was able to land top-shelf talent on the strength of his script.
Despite a leisurely pace and unconventional narrative structure that is sure to test the patience of the audience, "The Sixth Sense" ultimately redeems itself in the last fifteen minutes with a metaphysical twist that will leave you reeling.
Truth be told, up until the final minutes of "The Sixth Sense", I found it to be a mildly-entertaining ghost story that seemed aimless in execution.

 Filmtracks: The Sixth Sense (James Newton Howard)
The Sixth Sense: (James Newton Howard) Already hailed as one of the best "Scores as heard in film" of the year, I would have to agree one hundred percent.
James Newton Howard's The Sixth Sense does indeed work wonders in the film, and although parts of it can still be appreciated on CD, the music as heard on album just isn't as exciting.
Instead of striking at the listener with consistently bombastic orchestral hits, as many horror genre scores do, The Sixth Sense score --and perhaps this is just the way the album is laid out-- leads you to a false sense of security before scaring you half to death.

Writer/director M. Night Shymalan's "The Sixth Sense" is that rarest of breeds: an intelligent, well-made film that conquered the box office.
Cleverly plotted, bolstered by fine performances from Olivia Williams as Willis's melancholy wife and Toni Colette as Osment's worried mom, and graced with a twist ending worthy of Hitchcock, "The Sixth Sense" is a magnificently creepy film that will have you jumping at shadows long after it's over.
Perhaps critics have given 'The Sixth Sense' grudging praise, for it means to unveil the supernatural in a way that is meant to mirror the real world in an unflattering way.

 Brain study points to 'sixth sense' | Science Blog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Following the Asian tsunami, scientists struggled to explain reports that primitive aboriginal tribesmen had somehow sensed the impending danger in time to join wild animals in a life-saving flight to higher ground.
While some scientists discount the existence of a sixth sense for danger, new research from Washington University in St. Louis has identified a brain region that clearly acts as an early warning system -- one that monitors environmental cues, weighs possible consequences and helps us adjust our behavior to avoid dangerous situations.
"It makes sense that this mechanism exists because there are plenty of situations in our everyday lives that require the brain to monitor subtle changes in our environment and adjust our behavior, even in cases where we may not be necessarily aware of the conditions that prompted the adjustment.

"'Sixth Sense' is frightening, disturbing and horrific in the tradition of films like 'Rosemary's Baby,' 'Repulsion' and 'The Omen.' It's reality based fright.
