Of the senses we’re familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.

    I’d like to be able to hear like a bat. There’s so much of the sound spectrum we normally don’t perceive and it’d also be cool to experience their echolocation.

      Humans are surprisingly good at echolocation.
      For example, with your eyes closed, hold your arm out with your palm facing your face and make a droning noise while bringing your palm towards your face.
      Now try making a ‘click’ noise while facing inches away from a wall. Now try the ‘click’ in a hallway.
      There’s a blind guy named Daniel Kish who rides a bike using echolocation. He teaches this stuff to people through an organization called world access for the blind.
      I would also like to hear like a bat.
