Learning to See
1.
As we move around the world,
our visual system – our eyes and our brain
視覚器官
– is very important to us.
Seeing seems natural, but we all had to learn how to
understand
~の仕方
what our eyes see.
Let’s follow Weird Science as James
~に従って 奇妙な科学 ~のように
learns to see again.
First, he gets an unusual pair of goggles
ゴーグ
ル
from Professor Hubert Dolezal of Northeastern Illinois
University of Chicago.
These goggles turn James’s view of the world upside
down, so he can’t understand
さかさまに
where his arms and legs are!
As James stands up, he experiences the world as a baby.
If the TV remote control is to the left, James must move
his hand to the left, but it isn’t easy.
Even turning on the TV is hard.

These goggles were made for NASA to train astronauts

for the confusing world of
まごつかせる
space.
And James’s sense of balance is being
バランス感覚
greatly challenged.
For lunch, the difficulty is to figure out
わかる
where his hands and his mouth are.
Young children have the same problem when they eat.
And, James has left just about the same
散らかしてしまった 同じ位の量の
amount of mess.
To catch a ball James must practice many times to learn
where his hands should be.
After wearing the goggles for eight hours, James can
move around his home
動き回る
because the human brain can re-learn things.

But if he wore the goggles continuously for
two weeks, the world would seem strange when he took
them off.

And, it would take several days for his

brain to re-learn which way is up!
