David Eagleman is a neuroscientist who decodes the web of neurons and electricity that make our minds tick-and make us human. In this episode of The TED Interview podcast, Eagleman talks about the way that our brain perceives the world and how it is profoundly informed by our senses. So what would happen if we could heighten them-or even create a whole NEW sense? Listen as Eagleman shares his ground-breaking research on wearable technology that can bypass sensory impairment and translate sound into patterns of vibration for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Unlocking the mysteries of our brain | David Eagleman
The way that our brain perceives the world is profoundly informed by our senses-so what would happen if we could heighten them-or even create a whole NEW sense? In one of his last episodes as host of the show, Chris Anderson kicks off our series on the future of intelligence by interviewing neuroscientist and author David Eagleman. They’ll decode the mysteries of the brain, consider consciousness and what it means to be human, and dig deep into David’s ground-breaking research on how wearable technology can bypass sensory impairment, translating sound into patterns of vibration for the deaf and hard of hearing.

A BS detector would be an excellent sense to have.
These one-sided "discussions" would be far more interesting (and valid) if there was a second (or even third) person bringing up an antithetical point to each one presented.
What’s not valid about it?
It was a three minute video about "wow wouldn't it be cool if people had more senses"
What did you want, someone at the end to be like "eh, nah"
How about some hallucinogenic mushrooms in a room that vibrates without your knowledge?
A ' Waffle-Sense ' might be a good start ...
