Part II of this book suggests that the way we view our best-known senses can lead us astray for several reasons. Our senses are not always as reliable or powerful as we would like to think. They also present only partial pictures of the world. With regard to the five senses we think we know, the three chapters in this portion of the book will present some surprising information. The first treats the audio/visual bias humans have—most regularly developed individuals of our species rely heavily on these to map, navigate, simulate, and interact with their environments, often to the exclusion of other obvious sources of information. Yet our sight and hearing are fairly weak compared to many animals, and these primary senses are apt to “play tricks” or be processed in misleading fashion. |
