This is what Goethe was talking about when he said that Every new object, clearly seen, opens up a new organ of perception in us. Using that part of the brain as a primary sensing organ, actively extending its gating parameters, literally remakes it. More neurons form, the brain region becomes more plastic; it becomes highly sensitive to the lightest touch of sensory inflows. A new organ of perception emerges that can be used to consciously perceive tiny modulations of the meanings held within a much larger spectrum of the sensory modality being used.
