Anyone see the show "Brain Games"? They had a very interesting piece on memory, and observation. They did a 'crime' and had people witness it, and it is shocking at how many details people miss, forget, assume and completely change.

But, it's a really coo show and you should watch it right now, unless it is not on.

I love that show. I found it really cool that a blind person was able to ride a bike by using echolocation.

Yeah, I saw a guy do that on Stan Lee's Superhuman show too. It showed a blind guy navigate a parking ramp with only a clicker or his mouth, I forget which (he was on a bike too...)

It's pretty intense. Brain Games said that the visual cortex can be converted to do other functions, like process audio. It's cool.

How long until we have full control over our brains and can turn off less useful senses at will and power up the others? :) Turn off smell and touch to pump up vision for some tasks. It'd be petty cool.
