Die Funktionsweise eines Fledermausgehirns könnte uns vollständig klar sein und dennoch werden wir nie nachfühlen können, wie es ist, in ihrer Haut zu stecken. Ihr Sensorium arbeitet völlig unterschiedlich, aus dem Echo ihrer Schreie konstruiert sie ein Bild der Realität, das ihr erlaubt, kollisionsfrei zu fliegen.
