The Snail.

This is a Dionaea, a Venus fly trap hunting snails sorry for the snail.

The snail retreated into its shell.

A snail's shell is spiral in form.

The snail drew in its feelers.

We would rather eat snails tomorrow.

Snails have been eating our lettuces.

I cannot overcome my repugnance to eating snails.

The snail draws in its feelers.

Now, the other type of mantis shrimp is the smasher stomatopod, and these guys open up snails for a living.

By the way, if you are a boy, it's snails if you're a girl, it's butterflies because what we found was that girls hate snails.

It's surgically placed inside the inner ear.

You're helping him discover the garden by just pointing out these snails.

And this is really unheard of stuff, and this is all because of this technology.

Cochlear implant users cannot tell the difference between these instruments.

And there's no way that you can't look at that as an overwhelming success.

But here is that same girl who is implanted now.

Most cochlear implant users cannot tell the difference between an instrument.

He wiggles it in place, tugs it with his nose, and smash.

He's deaf, and he learned to play the piano after he received the cochlear implant.

Scorpions follow prey out of the sea. Slugs became snails.

I ate snails, vultures, rabbits, snakes, and anything that had life.

And that thing's going to swing around and smash the snail.

Girl I just take off my CI, and I don't hear anything.

And a few smashes later, the snail is broken open, and he's got a good dinner.

CS The barrel of the gun!

And so this guy gets the snail all set up and gives it a good whack.

One point three million eggs per square meter inside the marine reserve where these snails are very abundant.

One is leverage.

He is behind the railing.

And now today we have the modern multi channel cochlear implant, which is an outpatient procedure.

And in the end, you achieve something like this where an electrode array is inserted inside the cochlea.

I hope there aren't any snail rights activists around here.

This flag is very beautiful.

We would be thrilled if we had one semitone pitch perception in cochlear implant users.

When I was 12 years old, I was one of the first few people in Singapore who underwent cochlear implantation.

These are egg cases laid by a snail off the coast of Chile, and this is how many eggs they lay on the bottom.

Maybe 100,000 people have Cochlear implants, which allow them to hear.

This is a sturdy handrail.

There are lots of people out there who don't have purpose in their life, and bringing purpose to their life is a wonderful goal.

And now you have cochlear implants that go into people's heads and allow the deaf to begin to hear.

Now we've been doing some studies to really get a sense of what sound quality is like for these implant users.

And before I finish, I would like to reassure that no snails were harmed in making this presentation.

It wouldn't do anything but press this bar.

And he showed her the lever.
