  • As humans, we can perceive less than a ten-trillionth of all light waves. “Our experience of reality,” says neuroscientist David Eagleman, “is constrained by our biology.” He wants to change that. His research into our brain processes has led him to create new interfaces to take in previously unseen information about the world around us.

    Years ago I read about this guy who expanded his Umwelt with a compass. Basically he'd wear a belt with vibrator motors, so that the one closest to magnetic north was constantly running (except when sleeping). Afterwards he said he'd acquired an intuitive and unerring sense of absolute direction and being almost completely unable to get lost outside. That was one of the coolest ideas I've ever encountered and apparently there now exists a company selling it, but as an anklet instead of a belt.
    Apart from that, the idea of directly sensing data from vehicle sensors or a factory production line seem very exciting too. Think about how much safer cars could be if all drivers sensed on their skin all nearby objects around the car.

      Hey, its 3 years later and they sell this vibrating back speaker vest on amazon. Theres a couple different brand names. Im only here trying to figure out whether or not this would work. It seems like this would convert like music and video game sounds into vibrations. But those are sounds we already can hear, wed just instead feel what he hear. So i dont think it would expand the umwelt because its not sending vibrations from frequencies we cant access, only ones we can. Maybe im wrong tho. Idk, anyways, you're the lucky guy i decided to ask lol

    Huge thumbs up to this guy! I love how he not only introduced the topic so nicely, but kept it going in a more basic manner, rather than getting into high-tech data or theoretical work, Plus his practical approach just makes this even better. This also gives a slight insight into what all the unconscious part of our mind does without us knowing, which was quite surprising to see, as he explains that those vibrations were not being consciously monitored by the person to understand like a book or something, but just registered in the mind unconsciously, like walking.

      The problem in trying to predict weather with a computer is that the processor is very primitive. Many people ARE able to predict the weather quite well with even the five senses that we already have. It's our brain which is the "secret sauce".
      Imagine what people could do with being able to sense atmospheric data continuously, and building a sense of what rain felt like over time, to the point that they could understand how it builds up.

    I love the question from the moderator at the end, because I was thinking the same thing... Don't we have specific cortices dedicated to specific senses? Eagleman's answer helped me to understand. As I interpret it, the "visual cortex" isn't a hard-defined region, rather it is the area to which visual signals from the retina are sent, to be later processed throughout. There's no "special neurons" there, just the same as everywhere else, but it just happens that this area collects visual stimuli.
    There's some senses that I would love to have, which wouldn't be too difficult to augment through gadgets: blood glucose, hormone levels, plasma cortisol, plasma adenosine, etc
    Imagine being able to pull apart the factors that are making you miserable, or happy, in a direct way. Imagine being able to estimate your stress level, your tiredness, your fullness, with the same accuracy that you estimate how hot a room is? You could train this sense for years through conscious attention and meditation, or with a simple device you could get immediate access to these senses, at a higher resolution.

    • @chinmaychandraunshuh
      @chinmaychandraunshuh Před 2 lety

      Actually I wanted to add something here, I don't really think that it is a creation of new senses, but rather the enhancement of the existing ones. 360 degree vision, being able to see ultraviolet radiation etc. seem like extension to present sense of sight as in the enhancement of human field of vision, and being able to see more colours or more than colors (depends how seeing something beyond visual spectrum would look like). And even the vest seems like a device to help solve problems which were/are heavily relying upon eyes. so this vest is more like a use of touch, not expansion of it. Apart from these things to say, I liked the overall idea pretty much. It is helpful for people who are in a way deprived of the 5 senses. Kudos to this team.

      @@SuperDirtPig When we BELIEVE they are reality then we may be doomed. People keep getting the electronic experience closer and closer to reality, 4k tvs now look so realistic it can be hard to tell between a tv and a window if its set up right. The difference is that people KNOW that the tv is not real, its when people start tricking themselves into believing the tv IS reality that we may start having problems. On the other hand this may not even be an issue as it may simply open the door for our reality itself expanding to far more than what we ever knew it could be.

      I have one. Becoming god. If we can form and shape reality any way we want. The only limitation is your creativity and being connected to other humans, or even other life forms. You could theoretically become one with the universe. Experience the big bang, understand the creation of reality. We already create our own universes (video games) with rules and physics This is just pushing it further than I ever imagined we would be able to with current technology. Definite proof of what god is, explain it and even experience it. This is the holy grail to stop wars and fighting, when we can truly understand each other. Coming this far already shows the power of cooperation.

    This is so amazing. Rewatching this years later, and I've seen another Ted talk with an example of this. No less mind-blowing, and the ramifications are so much greater than the practical, market/medical focus of this talk. Combined with augmented reality/VR and Elon's neural net, along with genetic manipulation to incorporate sense frameworks from other species, this could open humans to a completely new experience of the universe. We need to get on this. Like it or not (if we survive ourselves), humans may be unrecognizable within the next century. Especially with genetics/crispr. 8 limbs, tentacles, skin that changes color, texture, patterns, camouflage, etc., Infrared vision, x-ray vision, heads-up display, wings, walk up walls and upside down like a fly, glow with phosphorescence. Sky's the limit. Scratch that, we've already moved beyond the sky. Limitless...

      I dont dislike Elon, but I hate the cult that has formed around him, praising him for everything he does. Yea, he is a hard working business man and yea, he has a lot of success. But he is no genius scientist. I would even say he sint even a particular good one.
      All his success is generated through the hype.
      Most of the time he just brags about what he will do, because he knows that if he keeps promising more absurd stuff, people will forget, that spaceX is still unable to bring more than satellites into space.

      Heinrich mir grauts vor dir Heinrich mir grauts vor dir You can feel however you want about Elon himself, but here at the facts:
      1. It is debatable weather or not Teslas are better for the environment when it comes to carbon emissions. It largely depends on how the local grid is powered. In most cases, it is better for the environment. Regardless, we need to switch to electric cars and over time they will be come better for the environment as we switch the grid to clean energy. However, the main purpose of Tesla is to switch over to sustainable energy, not to be environmentally friendly energy. Eventually we will run out of gasoline.
      2. SpaceX rockets are better than every other rocket in pretty much every way. They are cheaper to manufacture, they are very reliable, they are more efficient and they are the only *orbital class* rockets that land back on earth and car be reused. If that’s not better, I don’t know what is.
      3. I don’t know exactly what the cost per mile of The Boring Company’s tunnels are, but obviously the goal is to make them as cheap as possible. However, being cheap isn’t the *main* goal of the boring company. The main goal is to bore tunnels *fast*. The Boring Company is still a very new company so we’ll see what happens over time. I also have had my skepticism of hyper loop, but again, we’ll see.
      4. SpaceX doesn’t more launches per year than any other company or *government* in the world right now.
      I don’t know what your background is but from a nontechnical perspective, I could see where you are coming from. From the outside it doesn’t look like Elon is doing anything particularly amazing. But, for me, seeing the history of these industries and looking deep into technology of these companies make me realize how amazing these accomplishments are.
