ith Fingers

By ALTON L. BLAKEsLgg

NEW YORK. Dec. U _ (Apt __ You can hear through your finger tips with an missing invention "fflllllbfll WW by Dr. Norbert Wiener. famous mathematician.

This hearing aid, after more Work. will llkCiy b0 I glove, wgrn en the left hand. It takes the

d! of speech from the air, and transforms them into tiny electric- al shocks on the fingers, The shocks travel along the nerves to 91¢ blfllll. to tell you what some- one is saying,

With his fingers acting as ears, even a blind deaf-mute learned to speak, Dr. Weiner told the Am- erlcan Association for th» Ad- vancement of science. Dr. Wiener. of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. is the originator of cybernets, a new science of elect- ronic controls.

The ingenious hearing glove, still far from perfected. works this

way:

A microphone picks up the spo- ken sounds which are split into five frequency bands, or pitches, with one going to each of the fin-

QGTS.

On each finger is an electrode. and the incoming messages give little electric shocks to the nervc endings in the skin of each fing- er. These shocks have to be strong enough to be felt. but not strong enough to he painful.

Each finger carries one of the five pitches of "sound" to the brain, in its own kind of morse code. With training, a person can learn what these shocks or pulses mean in sounds.

Dr. Wiener and associates tested the apparatus on normal people whose ears were filled with a jum- ble of artificial noise so that in effect lhcy were completely deaf. They learned to recognize the fin- ger messages by watching the pat- terns of sound on a screen.

A blind deaf-mute also was test- ed. He had learned to talk with his brother, by putting his hands on his brother's throat. He could speak a. few works, but poorly. With the new hearing machine, he could compare his own speech with his brother's, and learned to speak better.
