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.
  • It could help us better to understand ourselves and our place in the universe.

My name is Adi, and I am the proud parent of Saar, a lively 17-year-old who happens to have autism. I have created a blog, 101Autism.com, with the aim to share our family's journey and offer guidance to those who may be going through similar experiences.Saar, much like any other teenager, has a passion for football, cycling, and music. He is also a budding pianist and enjoys painting. However, his world is somewhat distinct. Loud sounds can be overwhelming, sudden changes can be unsettling, and understanding emotions can be challenging. Nevertheless, Saar is constantly learning and growing, and his unwavering resilience is truly remarkable.
