Yes. Pretty much any kind of sensor, your brain can figure out how to make use of it. One big example I can think of is humans learning to use echolocation, similar to what bats do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation
Another interesting one is this bracelet which vibrates depending on which direction the wearer is facing. http://sensebridge.net/projects/northpaw/ http://sensebridge.net/projects/northpaw/ Research showed that people developed a natural feel for the sense over time.
I bet there are other examples, and this may become an important area of human-technology evolution in the future!
