TED演讲者 ：David Eagleman | David Eagleman 演讲标题 ：Can we create new senses for humans? | 我们能为人类创造新感官吗 ？ 内容概要 ：As humans, we can perceive less than a ten-trillionth of all light waves. “Our experience of reality,” says neuroscientist David Eagleman, “is constrained by our biology.” He wants to change that. His research into our brain processes has led him to create new interfaces — such as a sensory vest — to take in previously unseen information about the world around us. 作为人类 ，我们所能感知的信息范围不足全部光波长范围的十万亿分之一。神经学家David Eagleman 说 ：”我们对现实的感知能力被我们的生物特性所限制。 “他想要改变这一现状。他对人类大脑运行方式做 了研究 ，发明了新的交互接口——比如传感背心——来接收环绕在我们周围世界的原本不可见的信息。 www.XiYuS 锡育软件 We are built out of very small stuff, and we are embedded in 我们 由极其微 的物质构成, 又生存在无限大的宇 a very large cosmos, and the fact is that we are not very 宙当中, 然而实际上,无论从这两者中的哪一个尺度 good at understanding reality at either of those scales, and 我们都无法 很好地理解这个世界, 这是因为我们的 thats because our brains havent evolved to understand the 大脑 还没有进化到能从那样的尺度感知世界的程 world at that scale. 度。[00:12] Instead, were trapped on this very thin slice of perception 反之,我们的视角被局限在了这两者中间, 一块非常 right in the middle. 狭窄的范围内。[00:32] But it gets strange, because even at that slice of reality that 奇怪的是,即便我们对眼前的一切再熟悉不过, 其中 we call home, were not seeing most of the action thats 绝大部分信息仍然对我们是不可见的。[00:38] going on.
