Like is beauty a natural thing or is it something we are only socialized to discern? Food for thought...

    You should try to get your hands on the brainport vision device. It allows you to actually SEE with your tongue. I am not kidding. Very, very low resolution... but still!

      @LarryLynx 7 ปีที่แล้ว +91

      /watch?v=xNkw28fz9u0
      It is just very basic monochromatic vision I believe. A lot of videos about it, so it is not made up. The brain can translate any signal to vision if it understands how to. Just like people "echo-locating" actually activate parts of their occipital lobe while doing so (which is associated with sight). However, since the tongue has a very limited amount of sensors, the vision becomes very limited.

      I heard human ears are now possible to be made/grown. So hey, anything is possible. It's pretty hard to imagine an actual biological eye being made though but it'd be the greatest thing ever since sliced bread.

      @josee-annejoly6896 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      They are getting very good at restoring hearing! They cannot cure all cases but they can cure a whole bunch of them! Sight is much more difficult to restore because of the mecanism of how the brain perceives an image and fill in everything to make depth perception and everything. It's much more complex, but science is evolving very fast! They already have devices that allow people with certain type of blindness to see, but it's use is quite limited.

      @garybenson2388 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yeah becuase of what psychologist call "brain plasticity" the brain developing without the ability to see will adapt accordingly and use the occipital (vision) centers for other functions leaving the original occipital lobe funtions either dead or no longer a vision center. So even if he did regain vision, at his age it's highly unlikely he would ever be able to use it like we do or on the level that we do

    CGI is wonderful. It is imagination brought to life. You hear stories about things that don't exist, like aliens, or fairies, or magic spells, and CGI allows these stories to take real-life form. It's really cool! Also, some stuff you might want to see would be nature-based, snow falling all around you, waterfalls, fields of wheat or corn, mountain ranges, forests of evergreen trees, gardens, a herd of buffalo running across the plains, a flock of birds flying across the sky. Oh! And sunsets. They're amazing.

      He mentioned a couple times a surgery that could actually repair I believe it was his optic nerve that wasn't developed or something, it's been a long while since he brought it up. However, he didn't want to undergo that surgery, and the only reason I can remember is that it was just as likely as not to go wrong, and if it failed, it would make him permanently blind with no chance of fixing it. If my memory is right, and that's the case, then I don't see why he wouldn't undergo it since he has nothing to lose in the first place but the money it'd cost, but it's his choice, and probably the right one for reasons he has or may not have said.

  • @boy638
    @boy638 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    One thing I always wondered is that since he is born blind, if the very first thing he saw was a physically attractive naked woman, would he be so weirded out or overwhelmed since everything (including colours) are new to him? Or does his natural instincts come into play and find her completely normal and attractive?

      The Tommy Edison Experience I'm not entirely sure if you were looking for an answer to this but in order to put a 3d objects onto a piece of paper you need to first imagine how it would feel to be holding a hollow circle. now imagine that the circle is flatten as then or dinner then paper. that is a drawing of a circle. now imagine a arc somewhere in the center of the circle and the texture from it to the edge is gradually different. people who can see you would see it as a three dimensional objects if this is done correctly.
