G-spotter Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I've always wanted to have extra senses. Sonar or echolocation would be teh coolest. No more headlamps! Quote
fern Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Eric Weihenmeyer the blind climber guy was involved in an experiment which fitted his tongue with pins that made a picture of what a camera mounted on his head was pointed at ... and he was able to "see" with his tongue - navigate around unfamiliar surroundings and avoid obstacles and such. "On Intelligence" is the book to read. Quote
G-spotter Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 "Sensory Exotica: A World Beyond Human Experience" by Howard C. Hughes (not the famous guy) lists 9 senses that humans do not have. Polarized vision, UV and IR spectrums, electroreception, sonar & echolocation (bats and dolphins/whales), ultrasonic hearing, magnetosense, and pheremone smelling Quote

Dechristo Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I've always wanted to have extra senses. Sonar or echolocation would be teh coolest. No more headlamps! You'd be required eventually to climb solo at night. Drivin' evrybody batty with your chirpin' like a Pika. Quote
