See what I'm saying - the extraordinary powers of our five senses

This book is an in-depth look at the science behind the hidden powers of our senses and how to harness their potential. Drawing on groundbreaking insights into the brain's plasticity and integrative powers, the book examines how our brain uses the subtlest bits of information to perceive the world. A blind person, for example, can 'see' using batlike echolocation; a master sommelier can actually taste the grape variety, region and vintage of an obscure wine; and pheromones can subliminally signal a lover's compatibility.
