Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Everyone is familiar with the five senses: touch, taste, smell, sound and sight. But how do we as humans take different environmental stimuli and convert them into neural signals our brain can process? What happens in our brain when we lose one of our sensory systems and how close is the current field of science in being able to create prostheses for people that have damage to one of these sensory systems?
