As it turns out, Not only are humans capable of mixing the signals from two senses, but based on a recent Wired.com article, it would seem that humans are also capable of adapting to entirely new senses.

Flawless sense of direction? Infrared seeing? Perhaps even being able to see scent floating in the air - it all seems a little more possible. But as the article puts it, it's more a matter of figuring out how to hook up new sensory information to old senses.

This is old stuff. DARPA has built some crazy shit.. one thing I heard is a sonar module that attaches to the tongue and sends it electrical signals, so the person wearing it is able to echolocate like a bat.
