Neuroplasticity

The adult human brain's ability to reorganize around new inputs and outputs, reallocating its 'map' to a channel it was never designed to receive. People who learn to 'see' through a camera wired to the tongue, patients controlling robotic limbs, volunteers fitted with an extra thumb — all show the brain annexing a new sense. It is why Spider's final step — the brain learning to feel through the queue — is a hurdle we can watch humans clear today.
