Canal Street, I know.

He went down the canal.

You see the canal they dug?

The ship went through the Panama Canal.

The ship went through the Suez Canal.

A canal flowed between two rows of houses.

The canal connects the Atlantic with the Pacific.

They are visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinesthetic.

The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic with the Pacific.

If you need a root canal, Sheldon's your man.

Here is the visual input, and that's the auditory input.

This ship is too big to pass through the canal.

Another set of views of actually the Gowanus Canal itself.

That can actually hardly be seen from the canal tours.

We've got edible canal towpaths, and we've got sprouting cemeteries.

We are not passive exhibitors of visual or auditory or tactile images.

The canal can accommodate ships as large as 150,000 dead weight tons.

So they are listening to a speaker say letters over ah, headphones and again, here's an auditory target because the C matches the auditory stimulus 2 back in the stream.

If you do this it turns out, the auditory cortex will learn to see.

This is a block diagram of a model and simulation of the human auditory cortex that actually works quite well in applying psychoacoustic tests, gets very similar results to human auditory perception.

And now I'm going to finish up with another example of this, with auditory illusions.

We had full page advertisements, some 30 years, 25 years ago when this canal came.

I saw some bodies about a half a klick this side of Phu Cam Canal.

Photo auditory olfactory sensory convergence is a phenomenon that's been promised in science fiction for decades.

That matches both the visual stream and the auditory stream, the stimuli that came 2 back.

You know, coyote in Central Park, a whale in the Gowanus Canal, elk in Westchester County.

But this 400 year old canal, which draws water, it is maintained for so many generations.

location. Matches the one 2 back in the stream. They also had to monitor an auditory stream.

In the canal, which is just outside the restaurant, there is hundreds of meters of coil piping.

This takes the temperature of the canal and turns it into this four degrees of heat exchange.

At the proper moment, they'll trigger you, usually using some kind of auditory or visual Pavlovian response mechanism.

And what's circled is the site that I'm going to talk about, the Gowanus Canal and Governors Island.

You have the green for example, that corresponds to tactile information, or the blue that corresponds to auditory information.

So to build that irritation canal, they take those 900 gold pieces, and they pay a bunch of workers.

Provide direct pressure over the ulnar tunnel or Guyon's canal deep to the hypothenar eminence for up to thirty seconds.

The same thing would happen if you are in a conversation with someone, but the auditory cortex would also be involved.

Neuroscientists have done the following fascinating experiments where you cut the wire from the ears to the auditory cortex and you re wire, in this case an animal's brain, so that the signal from the eyes to the optic nerve eventually gets routed to the auditory cortex.

When you reach the canal turn left and follow the water until you see three lights hanging on a diversion sign.

Now, I'll prime the auditory part of your brain to tell you what you're supposed to hear, and then hear it again.

Here's the auditory cortex, and this is the sound of her voice, or the things, the wise things she said to you.

This is the area where primary auditory processing so you're hearing my words, you're sending it up into higher language processing centers.

What if it is the equivalent, depending on where you are, of the Grand Canal, in terms of tourists, habitation, desalination, agriculture?

There's sensory evidence you can use visual information auditory information, and that might tell you it's going to land in that red spot.

This part of the brain, that little red part of the brain, is your auditory cortex and the way you're understanding my voice now is your ear is taking the sound signal and routing the sound signal to your auditory cortex and that's what's allowing you to understand my words.

You know, someone has a great idea to build an irrigation canal, so that more fields become usable and get access to water.
