SMAART Mom’s Feb. Online "Mommy Time-Out" Video: Potty Regression
The video you linked is a TED Talk by Dr David Eagleman titled “Can we create new senses for humans?”. In the talk, Dr Eagleman discusses the possibility of using technology to create new senses for humans. He argues that our current five senses are limiting and that we could benefit from having additional senses. He gives several examples, such as using electrical stimulation to create a sense of touch on the tongue or using implants to allow us to see infrared light. Dr Eagleman believes that creating new senses would enable us to experience the world in new and exciting ways. He also thinks it could help us better understand ourselves and our place in the universe.
Here are some of the key points from the talk:
- Our current five senses are limiting.
- We could benefit from having additional senses.
- The technology could be used to create new senses.
- Creating new senses would allow us to experience the world more excitingly.
