1 hr 2 min - 05 USING SYNAESTHESIA TO READ SOCIAL CUES with Hari Raman
This week we hear from Hari Raman and his fascinating way of using his auditory-visual-synaesthesia in daily communication. He always struggled reading other people's emotions. Then he figured out that the colours and their saturation levels help him detect what his counterpart is feeling! As a coder he is now training artificial intelligence to do what his brain was doing so naturally all along. It's truly fascinating!
