Caption: In his new book, "The Vision Revolution," neurobiologist Mark Changizi explains why the evolution of vision has afforded humans four very real superpowers: telepathy, X-ray vision, seeing the future and speaking with the dead. It turns out that these superpowers have been instrumental in shaping the way we interact with and see the world.
