The Extraordinary Power of the Human Brain. (Part 1)

We haven't begun to understand all that it's capable of achieving.

We humans carry within us a genetic trait that would be incomprehensible to some to grasp, yet we do. We are literally walking mysteries.

Let’s start by trying to explain this one. We can call it our sixth sense. It’s called “Paroctic Vision”. It consists of having the ability to see with our fingertips. Also referred to as dermo-optical perception, or EOV (extra-optical vision), skin reading, and cutaneous perception.

Not just one, but several researchers have already documented multiple cases. Legally blind people, whose blindness was attributed to genetics or accidents, can "see" without using their eyes but rely on their sense of touch.

They can read books, tell the colours of a painting and its description, even read postal stamps.

Then, we have this man, Daniel Kish, who can describe his complete surroundings by feeling them through the echolocation technique. In one such experiment, he walked around a garden setting for a few minutes. Not only did he know where he was going using his cane, but he could tell us what he saw outside the path he was following. Trees, brick walls, their texture, height, and thickness. When his walk was over, the scientist doing the study brought him to a room and asked him to describe what he “saw.”

He, instead, drew the complete area by heart, and the results were undeniable. The technique is not new, but how he did the deed was. How could he have known the texture of the items he walked by? It’s known that the best “seers” click their canes to determine nearby objects, obstacles, big or small, and certain other such things. But in Kish’s case, he took it to a superhuman level. They even recorded him riding a bicycle without the need for a cane. Just the sense of his surroundings and the clicking of his tongue.

The human brain has very special components outside the most commonly recognized ones: neuroplasticity and adaptation. What it can do in its full capacity is still unknown, but more and more is being discovered daily about this extraordinary organ that we so often take for granted.
