Kubrick's sci - fi experiment intended to present its story almost purely with visual imagery and
auditory signals with very little communicative human dialogue (similar to what was attempted in the surreal, fragmented, non-narrative imagery of the Qatsi trilogy - from 1983 - 2002, from Godfrey Reggio).

In 2002, after 12 years of deafness and
with some misgivings, Shipsey got a cochlear implant, a device that would bypass damaged tissue, transmitting sound
signals directly to his
auditory nerve.
The trick is to teach the user how to associate particular brain
signals with specific tasks by presenting a repeating stimulus —
auditory, visual or tactile — and getting the user to focus on it.
«Despite originating from the same physical events, visual and
auditory information are processed in largely independent neural pathways, and yet,
with no apparent effort, we can instantly tell which
signals belong together.
This set of cells is equivalent to the battery of the cochlea in that it provides hair cells
with energy to transmit
signals to the
auditory nerve.
The perception of music starts
with specialised hair cells in the inner ear, which transmit sounds as electronic
signals through the
auditory pathway to the
auditory cortex, where sounds are primarily recognised.
ASD participants showed a deficit in speech envelope tracking, as assessed by the BOLD
signal, in a region of
auditory cortex that overlapped
with the region showing a global response deficit to the movie (Figures 1C, D).
The simultaneous EEG and fMRI recordings allowed us to explore how theta power fluctuations driven by the movie correlate
with local synaptic activity in
auditory cortex, as indexed by the BOLD
signal (Magri et al., 2012; see Materials and Methods).
This discovery helps explain how humans can recover their perception of speech
with electronic cochlear implants, which generate
signals much simpler than normal
auditory inputs.
On an
auditory signal, the participant sprinted 5 yards (4.6 m) to the line on the left and touched the cone
with their hand and then changed direction and sprinted 10 yards (9.1 m) to the cone on the right, touched that cone, then again changed direction, and sprinted 5 yards (4.6 m) to the center cone.
