Can you really learn to sense things??




If you are questioning whether or not the scout goggle training is worth anything click on the following link and learn about Ben Underwood.

Fourteen-year-old Ben Underwood of Sacramento, Calif., is one of the few people known to use echolocation as a primary means of navigating the world on land. There's not even a hint of light reaching his brain. His eyes are artificial, but his brain has adapted to allow him to appraise his environment. He makes a "clicking" sound to communicate with objects and people around him.

You have to watch the video!!!!
