I see with my hands. When I close my eyes and pick up a pencil I know it's a pencil.
Wait, I just did it, it's a pencil and I knew it was a pencil! I'm a squid!

I’m reading a book called The Brain that Changes Itself where the author talks about the plasticity of the brain. Evidently there are studies where someone without vision with their eyes can in fact be trained or their brain can be trained to “see” with their skin, not just by touching something but through some sort of waves. I don’t remember. I just had eye surgery, shouldn’t be using the internet and it hurts so I’m on pain meds. arrrgggg.

I’d wager that all camouflaging animals, such as flounders and chameleons, have something similar in their skins.

There is the case of the Spanish squid that has near-sighted skin. Often, it can not even "see" two inches.
Here is a recent study that shows the failure of this squid when placed in a different environment. Clearly, the coloration did not adapt...
It is also theorized that the potato can see without its skin. It may be that the potato does not want to be mistaken for calamari.
The studies must continue. We are looking for volunteers.

If they see so well with their skin, how do they end up crispy-fried and served on a plate with cocktail sauce?
