Could a person have a brain that wasn't wired in specific areas for any given sense?
So everyone has different sections of their brain wired to specific senses. A sections for sight, touch, smell etc.
Now if someone loses a sense their brain will rewire itself to allocate more brain power to the other senses.
What I'm asking is this: Is it possible to have a brain wired in a way that did not have specific regions for specific senses. Thus allowing the person to use whichever senses with however much strength (up to a certain point of course) they desire or need.
Edit:
After several answers and comments, I realized I need to clarify what I mean when I say strength. By strength, I do not mean the actual power, or ability of the sense (i.e seeing farther, or hearing at superhuman frequencies). Instead I am talking about the enhancement of these senses perception.
