I enjoyed it, loved the coloured tiles on the cube.
It is almost mind boggling to think about, but then i still can not get around the fact that my colour blind mate, sees everything that is red, as brown
but he thinks its red, but its really brown, or something like that 
Also loved the part about the people who see colours with sounds, reminds me that i was going to google it but forgot
And what about that crazy bat bloke who rides his bike around blind

Ah yes, Neuroplasticity: one of my areas of research. Nice to see it getting some coverage! I thought it was an accessible and interesting programme. Kudos to the Beeb for making it and, moreover, not murdering the subject matter as so often happens with scientific programmes.

A quality programme 
- just like Horizon used to be before all the arty crap and loud music!
I found the article on Synesthesia fascinating, but also the "new" sense when the guy had the "vibrating compass" strapped around his waist.
I think that i might have to watch it all over again - very impressive

It was a very interesting programme.....
I have an eye condition that means that I sometimes see things that are actually dead straight as wavy and curved. I also have times at night when I can't see dimly lit things at all. Luckily for me it only occurs in one eye and is not permanent so generally when I have both open, the brain chooses the good eye image but when I close the good eye.......things can go a bit weird....good example is on occasion I can't see my face in a mirror in a dimly lit room, just an empty black space........ OMG I have no face!!!! especially as it reappears if I look slightly away from dead centre...now I got a face, now I don't !!.....yeah it took a bit of time to get used to that one
Fortunately it has not re-occurred for a few years now...........
