And I sound like a bit of a fraud standing here now with a sort of belly.

Now the key thing there is, we've been able to take a large amount of information from many Chinese speakers and produce a text-to-speech system that takes Chinese text and converts it into Chinese language, and then we've taken an hour or so of my own voice and we've used that to modulate the standard text-to-speech system so that it would sound like me.

Sometimes these back-formations sound a little silly: Bulldozers bulldoze, butlers butle and burglers burgle.

So the words don't have have to sound normal, they can sound really silly.

And one such phenomenon that we focused on recently is sound.

Sound, as we all know, is basically changes in air pressure that travel through the air.

Those pressure waves hit objects and they create small vibrations in them, which is how we hear and how we record sound.

But it turns out that sound also produces visual motions.

Again, if you stare at that video, there's not too much you'll be able to see, but once we magnify the motions 100 times, we can see all the motions and ripples in the neck that are involved in producing the sound.

Once we play that note and magnify the motions 250 times, we can very clearly see how the glass vibrates and resonates in response to the sound.

Can we actually invert this process and recover sound from video by analyzing the tiny vibrations that sound waves create in objects, and essentially convert those back into the sounds that produced them.

So here's an empty bag of chips that was lying on a table, and we're going to turn that bag of chips into a microphone by filming it with a video camera and analyzing the tiny motions that sound waves create in it.

So here's the sound that we played in the room.

There's no chance you'll be able to see anything going on in that video just by looking at it, but here's the sound we were able to recover just by analyzing the tiny motions in that video.

And just to give you a sense of the scale of the motions here, a pretty loud sound will cause that bag of chips to move less than a micrometer.

It was one of the first sound recording devices in history.

It basically directed the sounds onto a diaphragm that vibrated a needle that essentially engraved the sound on tinfoil that was wrapped around the cylinder.

Here's a demonstration of recording and replaying sound with Edison's phonograph.

MR: And now, 137 years later, we're able to get sound in pretty much similar quality but by just watching objects vibrate to sound with cameras, and we can even do that when the camera is 15 feet away from the object, behind soundproof glass.

So this is the sound that we were able to recover in that case.

Maybe in the future, we'll be able to use it, for example, to recover sound across space, because sound can't travel in space, but light can.

So what if we had a mapping tool that would return the most enjoyable routes based not only on aesthetics but also based on smell, sound, and memories?

(Chainsaw sound) (Sound of falling tree) Twenty-seven thousand square kilometers in one year.

They become sound bytes.

What you're listening to is the sound of the brain of this monkey as it explores three different visually identical spheres in virtual space.

And it's like a funny sound effect that follows you around if you don't turn the thing off.

And a lot of times, even kids nowadays, they'll make reference to a theremin by going, "Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo," because in the '50s it was used in the sci-fi horror movies, that sound that's like ... (Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo) (Laughter) It's kind of a funny, goofy sound to do.

Well, we have a sound approach.

Using light and sound, you can activate or inhibit neurons, and simultaneously, we can match spec by spec the resolution of an fMRI scanner, which measures oxygen use in the brain.

Now, although that might sound impressive, in some ways it's a little bit problematic as a medical test, because you can probably tell which of these people is obese without knowing anything about their gut microbes, but it turns out that even if we sequence their complete genomes and had all their human DNA, we could only predict which one was obese with about 60 percent accuracy.
