Their acuity our acuity is 20 20 babies' acuity is like 20 800, so they are looking at the world in a very, very blurry fashion.

They are visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinesthetic.

The hearing acuity of dogs is superior by far to that of humans.

This is a block diagram of a model and simulation of the human auditory cortex that actually works quite well in applying psychoacoustic tests, gets very similar results to human auditory perception.

We are not passive exhibitors of visual or auditory or tactile images.

I had no mental acuity to speak of during the day, but I had flexible hours.

So, we modified the optics of the camera in order to mimic the baby's visual acuity.

So for whatever reason, this implant is not successfully stimulating auditory cortices during melody perception.

And then I'm going to finish up with another example of this with audio auditory illusions.

You have the green for example, that corresponds to tactile information, or the blue that corresponds to auditory information.

Now, I'll prime your auditory part of your brain to tell you what you're supposed to hear, and then hear it again.

This is the area where primary auditory processing so you're hearing my words, you're sending it up into higher language processing centers.

There's sensory evidence you can use visual information auditory information, and that might tell you it's going to land in that red spot.

We have a very small amount of bandwidth for processing auditory input, which is why noise like this is extremely damaging for productivity.

This exercise has led to the identification of major problems arising in the various ecosystems and has enabled their acuity to be measured and appropriate solutions to be envisaged.

But the corollary of that is that, if we all are brothers and sisters and share the same genetic material, all human populations share the same raw human genius, the same intellectual acuity.

And if I can broaden this out for a second, I'm willing to bet that every single one of you sitting in this room would be happy to speak with acuity, with total confidence, about movies, probably about literature.

So practicing throwing things has been shown to stimulate the frontal and parietal lobes, which have to do with visual acuity, 3D understanding, and structural problem solving, so it gives a sense it helps develop their visualization skills and their predictive ability.

And of course consider images that can be sensory patterns, visual, such as you're having right now in relation to the stage and me, or auditory images, as you are having now in relation to my words.

It's because you're all doing a cross model synesthetic abstraction, meaning you're saying that that sharp inflection ki ki, in your auditory cortex, the hair cells being excited Kiki, mimics the visual inflection, sudden inflection of that jagged shape.

There is about 20 regions of the brain that have been modeled, simulated and tested the auditory cortex, regions of the visual cortex cerebellum, where we do our skill formation slices of the cerebral cortex, where we do our rational thinking.

So the same strategy that we used to find the code for the retina we can also use to find the code for other areas, for example, the auditory system and the motor system, so for treating deafness and for motor disorders.

As the baby hears a word in her language the auditory areas light up, and then subsequently areas surrounding it that we think are related to coherence, getting the brain coordinated with its different areas, and causality, one brain area causing another to activate.

This, of course, is a visual map that I'm showing you, but this applies to any kind of map auditory, for example, in relation to sound frequencies, or to the maps that we construct with our skin in relation to an object that we palpate.

Now if you look at the brain of an individual who has a cochlear implant and you have them listen to speech, have them listen to rhythm and have them listen to melody, what you find is that the auditory cortex is the most active during speech.

Somehow in tickling our eardrum that transmits energy down our hearing bones, which get converted to a fluid impulse inside the cochlea and then somehow converted into an electrical signal in our auditory nerves that somehow wind up in our brains as a perception of a song or a beautiful piece of music.

Now, this is very important, because what it's telling you is your brain is engaging in a primitive it's just it looks like a silly illusion, but these photons in your eye are doing this shape, and hair cells in your ear are exciting the auditory pattern, but the brain is able to extract the common denominator.

So just the same way that we were able to jump over the damaged circuitry in the retina to get to the retina's output cells, we can jump over the damaged circuitry in the cochlea to get the auditory nerve, or jump over damaged areas in the cortex, in the motor cortex, to bridge the gap produced by a stroke.
