Anyone watch Stan Lee's Superhumans? If this dude is real, this is truly amazing. Why isn't he all over the news or being studied across the world? He's not using sound (echo location), he's using his mind, to see. Can anyone explain? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Br03a5rsRYc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Maybe we should dissect (and eat to gain its power?) his living brain before he dies and takes this secret with him
If you think he's peeking through an opening in the blindfold, they turn off the lights at the very end
Wow. Impressive... though I do wonder if a thorough examination of the blindfold occurred. Still, seeing objects and colors in the dark with a blindfold on is truly baffling. Generally I'm skeptical, but hard to explain that.
I'd like to see him tested in a controlled environment. It's hard to tell if he is not using echo location because the balls make a sound when it is hit, when it hits the bank and his ears might hear it rolling and knows exactly where it stops.
But how can a person sense colors with echo-location? Is there like a different "sound-density" with different colors?
Some folks can hear colors which is a neurological condition called synaesthesia What makes me kinda skeptical about this is that even though he is blindfolded, the ears weren't. I would think that they should have covered his ears to remove the ability to use echo location. In addition, they were talking all the time when he was hitting the bat, that alone can provide him a landscape of the room with just one sound.
supposedly debunked. apparently he can see through the gap at the nose. tested by placing object higher than eye level and also when provided an independent blindfold (no nose gap) he failed.
B.S. None of those shots were ONE CONTINUOUS SHOT where he could find or see things without the camera angles changing. I'd like to see him identify things WITHOUT all the camera movement and for things to come from the sides. He always had to be IN FRONT.
I have mild synaesthesia and it doesn't mean that I can determine colors just by the sound. What happens is that in my mind I have a visual association with certain sounds, in my case musical keys, so when I hear things in a certain key I visualize colors in my mind. That doesn't mean though that the key of G is actually blue just that my mind interprets it in that way. All of us interpret the world in certain ways unique to us but in the case of qualities like colors we agree that that certain wavelength of light is blue. Now we don't know if what you see as blue is the same as what I see but we agree for convention that it is. If I couldn't perceive light just because an object that is blue color makes a certain sound doesn't mean that it would actually be blue. For instance you can paint piano keys any color you want but as long as it was tuned properly doesn't mean that the sound they make have anything to do with the colors.
I saw that video, but it doesn't explain how he sees the location and color of the vase in total dark. Also, he makes contact with the ball thrown in the air and aims at pool balls that are all above eye level. If it is a hoax it's a very good one. The being born blind part and having glossed over, wall eyes was a great touch.
You just said it yourself 'mild'. Your current condition might not be exactly the same as others so your personal experience does not in any way debunk the analysis of medical professionals that 'some' people can. According to the article..
