Video is from 2007. Since then he has built a website where you can get more info: http://hole-in-the-wall.com/

Excellent links. Here's a shortcut to Professor Mitra's publications on the topic since the BBC article is minimally informative about his research.

I knew I'd heard about this on the radio, usually I listen to BBC Radio 4 so I think that this http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/thinkingallowed/thinking... half-hour programme is where I heard of it. Just in case someone is looking for an audio presentation.
