Bees learn to read simple ‘Morse Code’
Until now, the ability to discriminate between "dot" and "dash" has been seen only in humans and other vertebrates such as macaques or pigeons.

Study on remote touch: humans can detect objects in sand before actual contact
"It changes our conception of the perceptual world (what is called the "receptive field") in living beings, including humans.”

Researchers at Queen Mary University and UCL just proved that humans have a seventh sense; a kind of “remote touch.” They put people’s fingers in sand, buried solid cubes underneath, and somehow the participants felt the cubes before touching them. They didn't guess. Not chance. Real, physical perception through a medium. I was like WTF? So, It means your body, this so called lump of meat is actually tuned far more finely than you’ve been led to believe. You are literally sensing the world beyond your skin.
The scientists explain it in mechanical terms: when you move your finger through sand, it sends out tiny pressure waves that bounce off hidden objects and come back as faint feedback your nerves can detect. You’re creating a vibration, an echo, and your body is listening to it, almost like sonar. That’s what sandpipers do when they forage under wet sand for buried crabs. They feel through the field. And now we know humans do, too. Our “touch” doesn’t stop at the fingertip; it extends into space, a few centimeters out, a soft invisible net always searching.
This isn’t nut bag shit. This is physics meeting consciousness. And it validates what mystics have been saying for a very long time. That awareness radiates beyond the body. Yogis call it prana, Taoists call it chi, the Vedas call it spanda, the subtle pulse of life resonating through all matter. Now modern instruments are just catching up, quantifying what was once intuition. If we can detect shape and density through sand, what else are we unconsciously picking up? Emotional tension in a room? The presence of another person behind us? The hum of an unseen field we’ve never been taught to notice? Everyone knows the feeling.
I think this kind of discovery marks a sort of turning point. It bridges ancient and modern; science proving the hidden side of the senses. It’s not telepathy yet, but it’s the same neighborhood. And we all know about the telepathy tapes right? Every signal, every wave, every piece of information is already moving through the same physical fabric. I think consciousness is medium itself, and the nervous system is just the instrument playing within it.
So call it remote touch, a seventh sense, or the first clue to something huge. We were never confined to our body. The line between body and world was always blurred. The only reason we stopped believing in subtle perception is because we stopped paying attention. And now, with science reluctantly confirming what the mystics already knew, maybe it’s time we admit it; awareness was never inside us. We were always inside it.

Touching Without Contact: We Physically Sense Objects Before Feeling Them
Researchers have shown that humans can detect objects buried in sand before actually touching them, revealing a previously undocumented “remote touch” ability.
Participants sensed hidden objects by perceiving tiny mechanical disturbances in the sand as they moved their fingers.
This sensitivity matched physical predictions and even surpassed a robot’s precision, despite the robot sensing slightly farther distances.
The findings broaden our understanding of human touch and offer a valuable model for improving tactile robotics.
