I see a lot of elderly people who are hearing impaired or visually impaired.

For the visually impaired

So what we've been doing in my lab is looking at these unique sensory specialists, the bats, and we have looked at genes that cause blindness when there's a defect in them, genes that cause deafness when there's a defect in them, and now we can predict which sites are most likely to cause disease.

I believe most of these accidents can be avoided by making cars safer.

Do you see what I mean?

I always run it perfectly fine.

Well, yeah, a lot of them.

For this, we're showing a simulator, a blind person driving using the AirPix.

But as I was traveling here, you'll be very happy to know,

(Gülüşmeler)

Yeah, but would he hurt someone else if they got in his way?

We just we go like that, and we imagine that that's what deafness is about.

It's a progressive loss of visual function.

A Fred Johnson?

Block... block, block.

So about that time, the National Federation of the Blind, or NFB, challenged the research committee about who can develop a car that lets a blind person drive safely and independently.

We have already an autonomous vehicle.

We won a half a million dollars in the DARPA Urban Challenge.

Beau Lotto He finds it. Amazing, right?

But all that belief had fueled me so long.

We are not handicapped.

Well,there's a moderate concussion with some shortterm memory loss, disorientation,headache, and of course,fleeting blindness.

About 10 percent of the hearing impaired people get musical hallucinations.

For the criminally insane.

Did not you know that I am paralyzed?

I'm majoring in English, and I want to be a writer.

What NFB wanted was not a vehicle that can drive a blind person around, but a vehicle where a blind person can make active decisions and drive.

We're going to do this in people that have cognitive deficits, and we've chosen to treat patients with Alzheimer's disease who have cognitive and memory deficits.

I've got a 20 year old son who is sick. He's a retard.

let me tell you this

A good example for this informational non visual user interface is called AirPix.

This is something that has been historically difficult for many deaf people.

for which you can play exactly what you imagine, without it being cosmetically enhanced.

Also we look at deafness.

For criminally insane.

That is precisely what we do today.

How can the nervous system misinterpret an innocent sensation

Neither did interpreters, speech therapists, many of my teachers, friends.

What's gonna stop me, huh?

My fault, Alan.

It's about 4 to 5 , that's one in 20, are truly disabled by one of these illnesses.

People who happened to be women didn't have the same rights, couldn't vote.

No parking there.

The Paralympics, just for a little bit of clarification, are the Olympics for people with physical disabilities amputees, persons with cerebral palsy, and wheelchair athletes as opposed to the Special Olympics, which deals with people with mental disabilities.

Well, how on Earth can they experience music? You know, they're deaf.
