I wonder if the right spot exists within the brain that under stimulation would allow a human to see ultraviolet? All humans, along with the majority of the rest of mammals can't see ultraviolet, but we know it's a more colorful world to a whole host of other critters who can see ultraviolet. Seeing many flowers under UV light can be like seeing that flower for the first time. Where we may see a single tone can exist complex patterns completely invisible to us.
