Pianist'sNobuyuki TsujiiAs Mr. says, even though I can not see my eyes, when I see a person who can express "color" by using a piano, I am wondering what kind of world is visible. About what world the unseen people are "looking at" and what the world is,NautilusIt is described with a very easy-to-understand example in the column of.

Because the darkness spreads out when you close your eyes, people with visible eyes tend to believe that the world of invisible people is a "dark world". But this perception is a complete mistake, says Jim Davis.

If you want to know easily how blind people feel about 'view' which is visible to the eye, Mr. Davis can say, "If you think about how you feel the world behind yourself," you can tell. Of course my eyes are not on my back so I can not see the back world. Unless you are told, "What kind of world is the back world?", It is common to not be conscious. In other words, the world unconscious is "not exist". It is as if a blind person says "What you see" is like asking things that do not exist.

However, it is wrong to say to the invisible person "whether it is not visible". Although it becomes a very metaphorical expression, the blind person also "can see". In this case "looking" is more accurate if it rephrases "feeling". Even though I can not feel it with an organ called the eye, Mr. Davis tells me that blind people feel different ways, using different senses.

To understand "sensuously" about this "sense", Mr. Davis uses "high heels under the desk" as an example. When a woman eats at a restaurant, he sneaks off his high heels to rest his legs. A woman should be able to wear well without checking his high heels with eyes when finishing a delightful meal and setting up his seat. Mr. Davis says that this woman is "looking" with a "feel" different from the eyes without using eyes.

Dr. Peter Koenig, a German scientist, for the purpose of investigating human spatial recognition ability "FeelSpace"We are experimenting with a belt called" FeelSpace is a belt type device attached to the waist and it is configured to vibrate only when facing the north. Dr. König attached the feelSpace to the subject and spent six weeks, who said that even if there was no belt, he knew the direction of his house from a place more than 100 kilometers away.


As can be seen from Dr. König's experiments, human beings have exceeded the five senses of vision, hearing, taste, olfaction,sixth senseThere is a sense called called. It is possible to think that an invisible person is "watching" using this sixth sense, but more precisely, "Although it seems to be said that the act of" seeing with eyes "depends only on vision , Other senses such as hearing and olfaction are also being used when viewing the world in front of you.The sense that the blind eye does not use "visual sense" is not used, but by using other senses "You can see" things in front of you, "Mr. Davis concludes.
