Our senses take in electrical signals that our brain decodes and creates pictures of inside our heads. This is why people can learn to see with their tongues, develop powers of echolocation to see objects when they're blind, etc. In the future, we'll most certainly have entirely new senses and ways to perceive the world around us, aided by technology. On this episode Beau Lotto -- neuroscientist, perception expert, and author of Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently -- and I dive into why this is the case, explore why our shared (and unshared) delusions of the world are useful, and discuss some methods to develop new perceptions of the world that might serve us better.
