Unfair Senses Upgrades That Take Less Than 30 Days

Summary

The video presents ten short exercises intended to sharpen different senses. It frames them as ways to improve perception through regular practice:

1. Low-light vision: Look at deep red light (670 nm) for 3 minutes in the morning. The video claims this may support retinal cells and improve night vision.
2. Hearing sensitivity: Spend 20–30 minutes in a very quiet place, without a phone or music. The video says a break from constant background noise may help the brain become more sensitive to quiet sounds.
3. Taste awareness: Eat a simple food, such as a cracker, very slowly, noticing how its flavor and aftertaste change. The aim is to recognize more detail rather than simply label the taste.
4. Contrast vision: Practice Gabor-spot visual exercises for about 20 minutes a day, ideally in a dark room. The video says this trains the ability to notice objects that barely stand out from their backgrounds.
5. Proprioception and balance: Stand on one leg on an unstable surface, such as a folded towel or pillow, for a few minutes daily. The suggested goal is to improve body-position awareness and balance.
6. Reading facial expressions: Spend about 15 minutes a day studying slow-motion facial-expression videos, looking for brief expressions that may reveal emotion.
7. Listening in noisy places: Make a low, steady “hmm” sound for 5 seconds, then focus on a nearby conversation. The video claims repeated practice may help filter background noise.
8. Polarized-light perception: Look at a bright blue sky through a polarizing filter or polarized glasses, slowly rotating the filter for 15 minutes a day. The video says this may help people notice a faint pattern called Heidinger’s brush.
9. Noticing stress-related odors: When entering a room, take one slow breath through the nose and pay attention to any subtle smell or sensation. The video connects this exercise to detecting chemical signals associated with stress.
10. Echolocation: In a hallway, close your eyes and make a sharp tongue click about once a second while slowly moving toward a wall. Pay attention to how the echo changes as you approach it.

These are the video’s suggested methods and claims. The subtitles do not provide detailed study references for several of them.
