He has created methods to help blind people "see" and allow the deaf
to "hear" with special sensors that apply pulses to the skin. It can
be either on the forehead, your back, your tongue, and it's absolutely
amazing how the brain, over time, processes this and turns it into
vision or hearing. I tried on one of the special "hearing" vests (me
pictured wearing that below) and it was really incredible.

(I mentioned previously my idea for converting audio via DCT to
video spectrograph)

1980s one of the greatest sources of preventable business loss."
