Which heightened/different senses of other animals would you most like to experience (while still being human)?

Of the senses we're familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.

Sharks and other bony fish have something called Ampulle of Lorenzini that let them detect electrical signals in the water. it can also detect electromagnetic signals and possibly temperature differences as well. I always thought it would be cool to be able to sense electromagnetic fields. It would probably be overwhelming though TBH

Imagine standing next to your router while it screams pain directly into your brain. 😆

I hadn’t even considered the degree of finesse one could develop until you mentioned a router. Feeling a text vs a call, diagnosing an issue with an electric motor by proximity, instantly noticing loose wiring, feeling when malware begins spinning up processes, etc..

That's a cool point actually. I doubt your senses would get quite that fine, but there's still a lot of data transmission you'd be able to feel.
