And other FM devices implanted in fingertips, on contacting a surface, will send a message back to the sensory cortex of the brain, so that the person feels a sense of touch.

Sound Touch

You and I, we barely scratched the surface.

And someone that comes along and says, Look here's a ball.

This is how she gets information about her world.

And that's kind of surprising, because your sense of touch is really important.

This is called Limit Out.

That red piece of brain tissue is your somatosensory cortex.

Our brains are constantly working, synchronizing what we see, hear, smell, and touch into meaningful experience in the moment to moment flow of the present.

Surface

It has two main components.

They have taste, not smell.

The skin's a whole another thing, probably the hardest part.

Now it turns out that animals can go anywhere.

Solid surface

When we slow it down 50 times we see how the leg is hitting that simulated debris.

This is something I did of a tactile communication system.

The first is tactile sensations, things you feel in your skin.

But we'll just keep track of everything we touch.

Transparent surface

Well, if we're thinking in three dimensions, a surface is going to be a function of x and y.

You know, this is the parietal cortex, the somatosensory cortex, this is the touch of her skin, the texture of her clothes.

When we did that, here's a new experiment that we did we put an animal and had it run this grass spider on a surface with 99 percent of the contact area removed.

For a fugitive anxious to move on, it is apparently an ideal answer.

And I'll plot it there and it'll be a point on the surface.

Metallic

let's do, surface

I don't know what it is.

Cameo rest right on the surface.

They seem very, very obsessed with finding out more about the ideal mate.

A synesthete might not only hear my voice, but also see it, taste it, or feel it as a physical touch.

plane, like you can kind of view the projection of the surface of the xy plane, or the shadow of the surface of the xy plane.

This is a thousand year old drawing of the brain.

All right, and smoking.

It has the same bandwidth as a computer network.

This is the sea. And it must feel the water of the sea.

But there is something else that we are all experiencing in this room.

Well, that's funny I'll have to remember that one.

It's not all perfect and easier and improved.

And I lied.
