2019

Thanks to digital technologies, scientists who study the sense of sight are taking us into a new era! They are now able to explain some rare phenomena such as the case of a person who can see 99 million more colors than people with normal human vision, or to restore sight to someone who had lost it. It is biotechnology and digital technology that are paving the way for a bionic future where carbon and silicon are blended and visual acuity and the speed of transmission of signals to the brain. Meet these rare individuals who may be an example of what the future holds...

E4 : Le goût et l'odorat

48min36s
Smell... as natural as breathing. 16 times a minute you inhale air that passes through your nose and fills your lungs. Billions of molecules travel through your nasal passage and are captured by the cells of your olfactory organ. But you think you don't have a great nose... Your sense of olfaction is however much more developed…

E5 : Le mélange des sens

48min36s
The brain contains just over 100 billion neurons, each of which can form up to 10,000 connections. It takes such a network to process the flow of information sent by the body's sensory receptors. Because at every moment of existence, all your senses are solicited. Life is multisensory. Sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell send…
