   Now what's that short story, possibly on Mars,   
   where it's determined that a sense which the   
   aliens have and humans don't, can be given by   
   stimulating a certain part of the brain -   
   to appreciate an alien performed art form -   
   but the stimulation is destructive.   
      
   Obviously, a human undergoes the process,   
   appreciates the art form, and then regrets   
   that they now can never experience it again.   
      
   I don't think it's "A Nose For Ecclesiastes".
