“I have this rather freakish gift of seeing letters in color,” novelist Vladimir Nabokov told a BBC interviewer in 1962. “It’s called color hearing. Perhaps one in a thousand has that.” Articles about NEUROSCIENCE: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?page=7&tag=neuroscience

As neurologist V.S. Ramachandran writes in his book The Tell-Tale Brain,"Even though our picture of the world seems coherent and unified, it actually emerges from the activity those thirty (or more) different visual areas in the cortex, each of which mediates multiple subtle functions."

There's no limit to the possibilities, and nature provides neuroscientists with a constant source of inspiration: "Snakes see in the infrared range and honey bees see in the ultravnstantiolet range. There's no reason why we can't start building devices to see that and feed it directly into our brains." NEUROSCIENCE: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=neuroscience

We did not randomly feel the world, but that our brain created a special map that represented our skin surface. This map of the skin surface is in the same place in everyone’s brain, and is called the primary sensory cortex (or somatosensory cortex, see below).
