TOUCH AND THE OCTOPUS by Martin Wells
Demonstrator in Zoology. University of Cambridge
The sort of world we think we live in depends on the information we receive from our senses, and the way our brains sort it out. In some ways, particularly by touch, the octopus receives more information than we do, but its brain does not take full advantage of this fact. The result is that the sort of world the octopus Would think he lived in (if he thought at all) seems to us to be quite bizarre.
