The "senses conjure up phenomena that others can’t perceive" reminded me of stories I've seen of compass implants that give you some innate ability to know which way is north.
I'm skeptical about the actual devices that are available now, since they seem to come from a very fringe subculture. But, the general idea is pretty interesting. Whether that's a compass, or IR sensing, sounds out of normal human hearing range, or something else. Any sort of of additional sense you don't have already.
I'm curious about how well a device like that over time might get sort of "wired" in a way that it works on a subconscious level. That it would add a new signal that your brain would incorporate without you having to mentally consider it.

This is one of the most fascinating things to me, just giving the brain extra senses by sending it signals that it just learns how to process. I love this. I want to do this. I think some experiments have managed to create the experience of extra senses just by using things like a grid of electrodes on the back. And of course there is the "bio-hacking" phenomenon of implanting a tiny magnet in your fingertip, and suddenly you can learn to read electromagnetic fields. It's amazing.
