Hi The imaging nerve system of the eye is the
same as the imaging system of the skin and the skin can see patterns. Hearing
is again the same. So my guess is that Bats see images as we do but made of
sound. I doubt if it is in colour unless the bats chirp their sound emissions to
give different densities at different sound frequencies. In fact they probably
do. We see colour via the three separate
imaging sets of sensors in our eyes. I do not have a clue what happens in the
brain. Music is colour in sound and some sound patterns hurt us, others give
pleasure like colour and touch. By the way I could hear bats chirping when
I was young and I could hear ultrasonic sound emitted by a tweeter and signal
generator in a test. It was at about 100,000 Hz where I had an island of sound. I sometimes chirp by sucking air into my
mouth through my tongue held against the roof of my mouth to get the echo. I
did this as a child. I have seen and heard other children do this. Now I have
dentures I cannot do it. Chris From:

colors Speculation" What I am saying is that there is no colors that
we don't see (as a group). That there is no new color you can get by other
means. When bats view sound waves if they see this as color it is of our
spectrum but I suspect there brain senses sound waves as some sort of pattern. There is no point in searching for other
colors. In a message dated 11/7/2009 11:46:36

they appear fuzzy to us visually but are more precise in the scientific study
than we see. Animal may sense x-rays better than us but it in no way creates
new color. But as you point out there is no proof since we can't go into the
animal brains and see what it sees. It just the speculation I believe and there
is no use in looking for more colors. |
