Learning the Sixth Sense

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Cross-modal plasticity causes an ordinary sense to become a supernormal wisdom as a result of deprivation in one sensory modality. This ability of the brain has created a potentially fertile framework for the development of sensory substitution systems and brain-machine interfaces.
