It's so fascinating how our brains have such a variety of abilities, isn't it? It makes me wonder how it affects the way we function in general. Like I know that the way I think and conceptualize things is strongly informed by visualizations. And I'm sure that visualization lends itself more toward certain concepts than others, by its nature. It seems like you probably do the same thing with audio, and I'm sure that that lends itself more naturally toward a slightly (or maybe significantly) different set of representations and ideas. It's just so interesting to consider how we're both looking at the same world through these two different lenses, and probably notice very different things about the world because of it.

This is really good. I think depth perception is another good thought experiment that illustrates this. Imagine explaining to a chameleon how we use the differences in parallax between each eye to estimate depth. We're not consciously doing trigonometry to determine how far away things are, we can just tell. It's baked in to the map of the world our brain generates from the signals.

Chameleons moving their eyes independently is the same for them, it just looks normal. Their brains are adapted to process a different variety of signals than ours. It's just hard for us to "picture" it, since our vision has some different underlying assumptions built into it. But ultimately, it's probably a decent assumption to imagine that they "see things" the same way we do, just with a worse depth perception and a wider field of view.
