i read that there is indeed a quasi-visual aural matrix cognitively superimposed over the bat's normal visual field, forming an additional luminance-sense. additional perceptual senses are added to the brain's 3-dimensional virtual matrix of perceiving/locating objects in space, whether this extra sense is aurally-based as in echolocating animals, or based on having a wider palette of visual frequencies such as with snakes with their infra-red-sensing "pit" organ. experiments done with blind humans showed activity in the brain's vision center when an experimental visual field matrix tactile transducer was attached to their tongues.


How the heck do you know so much about bat matrices? :lol:

I would like to borrow the brain of a person who had experienced clinical death two or three times and each time had endured
the after-death experience and returned to life. I would like to know and feel it, regardless of the objective reality of the "after-death" experience.

ya know, this reminds me of that cool movie "brainstorm" where this inventor makes this neat thought transference helmet thingie [connected to a recording apparatus], and all sorts of mischief takes place with it, including the recording of a scientist's dying-and-heavenly-matriculation experience, which the protagonist goes through hell and back to experience for himself. such a device would be the greatest invention ever. rent "brainstorm" NOW. also consider viewing "saved by the light" which is based on the real-life experience of danion brinkley, who was struck by lightning and met his maker. twice.

I don't want anyone's brain but I wouldn't mind borrowing their BODY for a day.

I would love to know what it feels like being a woman. :D

Franz Kafka, as I am very interested to know how he achieved such a unique writing style.

Bill Gates. I'll code some software and sell it for millions while buying out all my competitors. When I put my own brain back in, I'll be rich! :P

My dog's brain. I want to know what their emotions are.
Or maybe an elephant.
Something not human anyway, I want to see what different levels of intelligence there are.
