π§ Our perception is limited to a small part of reality, as our minds are not evolved enough to understand the world at this level.
π We only see a small fraction of the waves of light and electromagnetic radiations that exist around us, such as colors.
π¬ Animals have different sensory abilities to perceive different aspects of reality, such as heat, electric fields, and sound echoes.
π The concept of 'sensory environment' describes the limited range of reality that each species can perceive.
πΆ Imagining having a heightened sense of smell like a hunting dog.
π¬οΈ Exploring the implications of having a small, powerful nose.
π§ The potential of technology to expand human perception.
π§ Our minds are adept at processing and interpreting information to create our own realities.
π‘ The brain is like a highly efficient computer that can utilize any incoming information to its advantage.
π¬ Nature can create new sensory devices without redesigning the brain by developing new sensory channels.
π₯ Researchers have been exploring the possibility of creating new senses for humans.
π One study found that blind individuals can perceive objects in front of a camera through sensory feedback on their back.
π Another experiment used sound-producing glasses to help the blind perceive their surroundings.
π A new invention called the 'brain port' allows blind individuals to 'see' by converting images into electrical signals on their tongue.
π‘ The focus of the researcher's work is on developing sensory alternatives for the deaf.
π± They aim to create a device that can translate speech into vibrations on a wearable jacket, making it accessible through mobile devices.
π§₯ The jacket uses Bluetooth technology to transmit the vibrations, providing the wearer with a dynamic sensory experience of their surroundings.
π The invention is currently being tested on deaf individuals.
π§ New sensory device allows people to perceive language through vibrations.
π This technology has the potential to expand human perception by providing direct data from the internet.
π‘ The device can be used to develop new senses and enhance human cognition.
π§ Humans can potentially develop new senses.
π‘ Using technology, humans can expand their sensory perception.
π The possibilities for human enhancement are endless.
π§ The brain is flexible and can adapt to receiving sensory input from different modalities.
π Applications of new sensory alternatives could include space exploration and monitoring.
ππ± Our visual system is limited in processing large amounts of data, unlike our modern world.
