h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Actually, it'd be easier to start with human senses - dog's have 20x hearing, 2x sight and 40x taste (or something like that) of what we have.

On the other hand, that's simple sensory acuity, rather than cognitive clarity. A decent microphone can pick up a world of sounds that a human couldn't, but the trick - it seems - is in understanding the psychic interpretation rather than the basic mechano-chemical reception.

Regardless of the increased levels of information, a dog's worldview - the way in which it perceives, rather than merely senses - is going to be rather simpler than a human's; likewise a child's is less complex than an adults. This parallels - in part - Alan Turing's suggestion that a thinking machine should initially be based around a model of a child's brain and allowed to grow.

And I'm pretty sure a dog's vision is not as good as a human's (as near as anyone can tell). While we may not have the best night vision, or the best distance vision, humans do have pretty much the greatest visual depth of any species. This again is to do with the complexity of our cognition, rather than superiority of sense organs.

The Prophet.

We have neither sensory acuity nor cognitive clarity at the moment.
