@ThisIsMyRealName We're probably won't be surpassing dogs' ability to smell any time soon, but we can try to get close through improvements in machine learning and research into how a dog's brain processes smells.
@ThisIsMyRealName What? We have machines that can detect which molecules are in the air, that's pretty much the definition of smell. Also a dog doesn't live forever so it limits how much experience in smelling things they can have, a machine wouldn't have those limitations, if the machine is around for a 1000 years it has 1000 years of smell "data".
I went in to this video thinking "Why am I watching this." Then halfway through I had to pause it to pick my jaw up off the floor before watching the rest. Awesome video.
Shout out to this guy for understanding the genuine value of the smartphone instead of treating it like a boogeyman just because it’s new. A smartphone IS power. Smell just helps you taste things better. “Would you only feel comfortable giving up smell if you knew this device existed?” Ma’am, our own sense of smell ALREADY can’t assist our healthcare. That makes no difference.
@@TheFallingFlamingo Here's some more talk about science and technology of smell: ua-cam.com/video/HJ8QKAXl4Oc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/hL6ClTZDUNI/v-deo.html
Wow, thanks for this video! It's always a true joy to get to see professionals talk about their field of expertise passionately. This was really interesting!
Huge props to Emily for the amazing interview questions. Wow, that was fascinating. I can tell that she's done her research and has put serious thought into the subject before the interview. I was totally blown away when they started discussing about how the body uses perceptual engineering changes how pregnant women respond to smells.
The flamingsword You are being sarcastic, right? Interesting topic, but that was pretty bad. Information content was low too, basically confirming basic canine anecdotes.
I remember some old joke that joked that dogs didn't actually have great smell, but people believed they did, so they pretended to be and were actually just physic or something.
This video blew my mind, and made it clear to me that this technology is a LONG way off. Not even sure machine learning can solve this one as well as dogs can. When he said that they were not just detecting cancer through odors, but actually *deducing* that there was cancer based on some unknown algorithm in the dog's head I was floored. That is just insane to think that dogs have that ability.
So... Here is a little thought: how about looking at what each molecule makes the dog feel and then compare to what the dog feel after smelling cancer cells or something? Like, with how the dog feel I mean the area of the brain that lits up, of course...
Notice he didn't say our phones have mouths because technically they do for speaking (through the microphone) but just not for testing. Basically a mouth has more than one purpose compared to the body sensors.
Does anyone have an idea what breed the dog at 4:13 is? The black one that's sniffing the air? That‘s gotta be the most adorable little pupper I‘ve ever seen!
I had a friend that had a benign (or good) tumour in her ovaries. What it meant is that she would never die of cancer, it wouldn't kill her. The only problem that this benign cancer had was that it would grow and grow and grow and become a giant mass inside her belly, and cause problems like that. Now, if it was a bad tumour, it wouldn't need to grow much to make her sick: cancer cells would spread, or metasthise, throughout the body and create new cancers that simply destroy the good cells.
It seems like you need to train a (sort of) neural network type of AI (giant computing power size) for 2-3 years by sniffing around and then really hone it on what "function" you are after.
My parents are so paranoid about our Alexa they won't take it outside the kitchen. They don't even use Siri. God only knows how paranoid they'd be of a phone that smells them. It'd be cool, and good luck, but lol, they'll be so spooked.
As much as I love his ideas & take on things, I take issue with his claim that he'd rather lose his sense of smell bc "most people dont use it". Umm.......your olfactory sensors are literally what give you a sense of TASTE as well. Seriously. Try holding your nose while you eat something: you won't be able to distinguish any tastes, only textures. Taste & smell go hand-in-hand with each other. Idk about you, but I wouldnt want to lose TWO senses at once. You can have my phone.
The "lose your phone" option only makes sense if it means lose cell phones forever. If I could just go get a new phone in a couple days there's no way that's anywhere near as valuable as your sense of smell.
I'm curious about exactly WHEN a dog can detect cancer. Does it depend on the type of cancer? Can they detect before cancer occurs? What about cancer are the smelling? 🤔
I know that they teach gambian rats to detect explosives because gambians live long enough. But cats f. in. live longer than dogs or rats, why don't they teach them??
It's a good question, various animals have been taught to diagnose various diseases e.g.: www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34878151 dogs are not magical they are simply the currently most practical choice for our goals
What about the privacy concerns raised by cheap artificial noses? Is anyone speaking to what will be lost? No more smuggling candy or popcorn into movie theaters, being the most benign instant use case which would suffer backlase. Mom's could know if they're kids are doing drugs just by clicking an Watchdog Smelling app.
Saw a New Scientist article ages ago showing a relationship with loss of sense of smell and depression - so I wouldn’t be so sure about losing it over my phone...

@ThisIsMyRealName We have cameras and satellites that see better than any human eye. Why not do the same for smell, especially if it's useful?

I love that so many people like this man and say his passion for his field is great instead of calling names. Is the internet getting nice?:)
We need the star treck diagnosis tool like the movie to take medicine to the next level
We need more in his research please!!!! So incredible
Are they using machine learning to do scent recognition? It seems like a good fit and they can train the algorithm just like the dogs.
That's some amazing energy
Let the dogs show us the way!
Hahaha when he yells “literally!!!!’”
And once your phone can 'smell' your health issues, it will tell your health insurance company, your future employer....

basically dogs are smarter than robots at deciphering smell

Malignant tumor with metastasis is the bad one. Some arent as dangerous. Those which tend to spread and grow are harder to be cured out of.
@@marcinm6968 that's exactly what I meant, thank you "good" cancer: only in the sense that it is not the kind that should be treated aggressively

Just make sure your phone doesn't get as coked up as you once you've given it that nose.
