And so if we take the sound of the forest and we actually turn down the gibbons, the insects, and the rest, in the background, the entire time, in recordings you heard, was the sound of a chainsaw at great distance.

The moment a sound of a chainsaw is heard in the forest, the device picks up the sound of the chainsaw, it sends an alert through the standard GSM network that's already there to a ranger in the field who can in fact show up in real time and stop the logging.

The conversations used to sound something like this: "Oh, when I hit the street, my brother got this connection for this, that and the third," or, "My man over here got this connection for the low price.

If you weren't here, it would be pretty much like the sound check yesterday.

Now, that might sound speculative, but the first paper demonstrating this was published in the journal Nature in 1969.

And here is what we wanted to do: we wanted to make it so that sound from the world gets converted in some way so that a deaf person can understand what is being said.

So as I'm speaking, my sound is getting captured by the tablet, and then it's getting mapped onto a vest that's covered in vibratory motors, just like the motors in your cell phone.

So as I'm speaking, the sound is getting translated to a pattern of vibration on the vest.

I'm listening to the sound of my voice, my voice on surreptitiously taped phone calls that a supposed friend had made the year before.

Now, a tar kettle doesn't sound like much of an inheritance.

Those are flashes of sound that go out and reflect from surfaces all around me, just like a bat's sonar, and return to me with patterns, with pieces of information, much as light does for you.

I'm going to make a sound.

Just listen to the sound for a moment.

Now, listen to what happens to that same exact sound when I move the panel.

When people make a sound, when they laugh, when they fidget, when they take a drink or blow their nose or whatever, I hear everything.

Of course, in international relations, it's not just the sound of one hand clapping.

What I'm going to do now is just play some examples of real human beings laughing, and I want you think about the sound people make and how odd that can be, and in fact how primitive laughter is as a sound.

It literally is that basic a way of making a sound.

(Audio: Laughing) What does that sound like to you? Audience: Posed.

So, for example, you find nasality in posed laughter, that kind of "ha ha ha ha ha" sound that you never get, you could not do, if you were laughing involuntarily.

First of all, they heard some laughs, and they had to say, how real or posed do these laughs sound?

If we turn the question around and now say not, what does the laughter sound like in terms of being real or posed, but we say, how much does this laughter make you want to laugh, how contagious is this laughter to you, we see a different profile.

What if we could use video to capture the vibrations of sound, which are just another kind of motion, and turn everything that we see into a microphone?

Traditional microphones work by converting the motion of an internal diaphragm into an electrical signal, and that diaphragm is designed to move readily with sound so that its motion can be recorded and interpreted as audio.

But sound causes all objects to vibrate.

And so we tried this out, and here's one of our experiments, where we took this potted plant that you see on the right and we filmed it with a high-speed camera while a nearby loudspeaker played this sound.

(Music: "Mary Had a Little Lamb") And so here's the video that we recorded, and we recorded it at thousands of frames per second, but even if you look very closely, all you'll see are some leaves that are pretty much just sitting there doing nothing, because our sound only moved those leaves by about a micrometer.

But it turns out that something can be perceptually invisible and still be numerically significant, because with the right algorithms, we can take this silent, seemingly still video and we can recover this sound.

There's the object and how far away it is; there's the camera and the lens that you use; how much light is shining on the object and how loud your sound is.

But ridiculous as this experiment looks, it was actually really important, because we were able to recover this sound.
