Ecolocalización/ Echolocation | Diego Aguinsaca | TEDxCuenca


[Music]

[Applause]

your eyes a moment please because

They are listening to what he heard a

Sighted person walking on the street

auctioned the closed eyes and

just feel that they are behind bars

plus

in the world every seven seconds a

non-sighted person suffered an accident

many times minor accidents like

blows with a branch of a tree other

so serious that it can cause them

condensate death the work that

we have made the last four

years to be able to transmit yes they are

the next minutes

it is very likely that most

you have heard the word

echolocation maybe in a

documentary in a movie even in

a cartoon

echolocation is the

interpretation that an individual has

of your environment using the sounds

many animals in the wild are

mobilize and house only at night

even some of them have

developed stability and can

do it in totally dark places

without even a point of light

obviously they developed this by

need otherwise they would die of

ams

in this way it is like this little

bat uses echolocation

the night to detect this insect and

you can cover the dolphins well

bats and other animals have

stability your brain has the

ability to process information and

know how your environment is but

how does it work

in this case this little bat

is generating a peculiar sound that

is the one that is in tomato color and the

bounce of the sound on an object is the

of green color and what he hears the

bat in his right ear and in his

left ear is different is that

difference the one that lets you know where

the object is found

well in this case the bat does

a peculiar sound like then if

they want to practice it with me it’s like

when they are going to kiss and and put the

tongue the palate upstairs and do something

as well as if that sound like that the murcia

very good

or prefer to do it only is for

that nobody misinterprets then well is

a peculiar sound and so every animal

It has a sound but the most interesting

the sound is the bounce of the sound because

this is the one that allows you to interpret

fenton analyzing the environment

the animal creates a mental map then

what is the mental map mental map is

an analogy of what we see

with our eyes to what the animal

generates interpreting the sounds I go out

like this picture

obviously it does not have colors because it is

a sense of depth is

it’s just an imagination where

are the objects and well already

we talked a little about what is the

clyfc echolocation and as a function and

I ‘m going to tell you something that’s good to me

It seems incredible when I found out

that fascinated and know what

very peculiar stability

it is not unique to the animal kingdom if it is not

unique the animal kingdom

human beings we can develop

said many human beings have

developed and are considered as

super humans have probably seen

the movie later saw and then here in

This superhero movie is blind

and uses echolocation to know

how is your environment and exaggerated a

little of course it is not that it is so in

the reality but you get an idea of ​​what

that treats echolocation that is

perceive the environment without the sounds

Now something very interesting and peculiar is

that most people who have

developed stability are blind

there are many blind people around the world

who have developed stability and but

because they are because of their brain

having no vision begins to take

more information from the other senses

the touch sharpens the pact sharpens

even and and the taste but the most

important what he hears then the

brain is receiving more information

with the objective of knowing how

find sanctity and stability

they develop eye on this

unconsciously develop them

unconsciously almost nobody of them

he knows that he is developing it in this

context presents Juan Luis

he is a blind person selected

for the history chain with for

participate as a superhuman because he has

developed stability to another level

Juan can drive a bike can

move through buildings and power

through the forest without

with a lot of obstacles

then it was considered as a

superhuman of course you have to take

in mind that he did it from ring and

he did it in an unconscious way

Now it is very important to know that

only they can develop it and that

it seems even more incredible because

all of us all of us

seeing this we can develop

stability if you do not know us

we hold constant training

we can develop the and we can

perceive the environment

If our eyes are obviously going to be

difficult because we see was going to be

complicated to train our brain

so that together united but

possible all with a workout

constant just like a

footballer or a pianist training a

couple of hours a day

if the blind will train daily

could bring the echolocation to

another level because there are very few who

have developed this

I’m sure that if Leon Messi does not

they would have practiced soccer all their

lifetime

able that now was not so famous

then in this context he presented them

to Daniel unjustly kiss in a talk

ted

where he tells the world how to

interpreted through the

echolocation is interesting because

he has schools around 40

countries where he teaches kids to his

students to develop stability and

It has gone very well but within the

context of echolocation exist

certain limitations and good I want

emphasize these limitations and

first there are about accessibility

of 39 million blind people in the

world and less than 0.1 percent is

subject to a type of training

probably because of the accessibility already

that nobody finds one of these

schools around the house by the

subject of costs since the 90th

hundred of this sector is in a

poor or vulnerable sector

so the issue of accessibility is

the main problem of the de of the

echolocation and how you can

develop now the second thing more

important is the subject

they do not feel restrained

shame even if it seems illogical

they do not like to walk and that

everybody listen

do not not prefer to go unnoticed and

the third is that the echolocation

can only be used in environments are

only saturated and what does it mean

this when a person does not see

is walking down the street try

use echolocation and it’s very

complex because when the sound is

mixed with the noise of the street and not

can interpret the bounce of it

now when they walk by these

places like the one we see in the photo what

consider it an extreme sport

in fact I have talked with many of

them and they say every time I go out to the

Street

I’m really doing sport

extreme for the level of risk that

they have with them with the objects and the and

the causes of accidents that exist in a

street is so high

so that’s why they consider it

as an extreme sport

in fact I do not know if they have seen a

person keep walking use the

cane and most objects the

can dictate with the cane but there

a lot of objects that do not

they have a base and that can cause them

an accident

the chest the face for example a rod

of a construction probably a

sign an umbrella of a cart and

an infinity of things and as a bridge

or a crossed cable that really

they can cause harm

in this context and in order to

solve these problems that

has echolocation an idea is born

a little over four years ago that is

win 6

then hannah is is a device

electronic that allows to solve these

small problems of the

echolocation then first

it works in the same way as commerce

the bat

only that in this case is the device

the one that generates the sound and generates a

sound at a high frequency and a sound

percutive very good that is the

specific, the most suitable for

bounce in a proper way in a

environment

It also has a warning system and it is

the most important that people

used in the environments that are are

numerically saturated

then this mode warned is that

simply the person is walking

‘there is no object a meter or less

the sun the device sounds or vibrates

warning him that there is an object

opposite and that you have to move to

On the other hand, I ‘m going to show you a video that

I love it because it serious as

cellular was something very natural happened does

a little over three weeks in a

test with some users

it happens that during we were in the

test and user said that he had

beaten

obviously very soft but we loved it

because we said right here so that

extraordinary how is the probability and

how it works then we did the same

path but now using the hies and

this is what he got

[Music]

good

[Music]

the people who did not touch her but she already

he felt and could

[Music]

right now cristina is going to be a

proof

let’s make him walk towards that

obstacle is not going to hit the head

and we hope that our device

works freely without the effect of avoiding

the blow avoid the blow but while it is

true as you could see this

object does not have a basis then with the

cane can not touch him and he walks

walk until it hits like them

commented sometimes they are small punches

but other times very strong blows

how important they are that nobody

You can put a price on an accident me

placé tell you that this project and

it’s been four years

now it’s on the market and as usual

as they commented was winner of an idea

to change the story and that

he asked still they think they are super

humans probably but have the

sure that each one of you

you can do thank you very much

the laws
