Re: Scientists create 'sixth sense' brain implant
We already got cameras to detect them. You dont need an implant. Its easy to make diy IR detector, i sense something sinister
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34230921


That's right, lugging around a massive backpack of technical gear and having giant cameras hanging off your head while wearing some kind of helmet is really better than a little computer hooked up to your mechanical but otherwise normal looking eyes, from the inside of your head.

Which would you prefer? Looking like a freak, or looking like everyone else, perfectly normal?

Right, well you enjoy looking like a cyborg from a cheap 1980's flic, while everyone else just looks human!

And btw.. not one single atom in your body remains from when you were born, you're completely made up of stuff which weren't originally part of you. Everything you've learned is also not originally part of you. Everything you eat and drink. The clothing you wear, all that hair, etc, etc

O band Original 1260–1360 nm

C band Conventional 1530–1565 nm
L band Long wavelength 1565–1625 nm
U band Ultralong wavelength 1625–1675 nm


The C-band is the dominant band for long-distance telecommunication networks. The S and L bands are based on less well established technology, and are not as widely deployed

Re: Scientists create 'sixth sense' brain implant
Scientists have created a "sixth sense" by creating a brain implant through which infrared light can be detected.
Although the light could not be seen lab rats were able to detect it via electrodes in the part of the brain responsible for their sense of touch.
Similar devices have previously been used to make up for lost capabilities, for example giving paralysed patients the ability to move a cursor around the screen with their thoughts.

If we re-sensitize ourselves to the natural state, no implants needed. If they were not spiritually/emotionally retarded, they'd know that it is NOT in the brain anyway.

Re: Scientists create 'sixth sense' brain implant
Tats great 4 ppl with disabilities and all, but in a few years when sht like this hits the mainstream, everybody will want 2 enhance their human capabilities i'm sure of it... The age of the cyborgs is coming my friends. You all will be faced with a hard choice. Will u keep up with societe by enhancing ur brain, but loose ur humanity and disconnect from ur true inner powers @ the same time, or stay boring and acheive those goals trough hard work and meditation... Why are we always in search 4 the magic pill...

Well i'm definitely choosing to leave my brain the way god intented thank you. Think about it, nature is ALWAYS more efficiant than anything we will ever build. So while the pll who choose the implants will only limit their powers, mine will keep growing... Maybe @ a slower rate but when i finally reach their levels, they will be stuck there until the technologie becomes better, i'll keep growing. No one will control my evolution but me.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27932711


Great insight. Have you noticed all the talk about these enhanced capabilities coming to us soon through man made products such as chips and upgrades? They know that humans are starting to get DNA upgrades by God and they want to stop those natural upgrades by offering some man made BS. I am sure the chips will work great at first but what will they also be programmed to do. I imagine our natural upgrades will be disabled so we will remain pawns in the game. They put metal in my spine years ago and I regret it each day. The metal creates interference in our very sophisticated electric system.

Re: Scientists create 'sixth sense' brain implant
My Sister-in-law had Parkinson's disease. It was advancing to the point that she was unable to function and medication was having little effect. She agreed to an experimental brain implant that was to reduce or possibly eliminate the shaking. Well, things did not go at all as expected. Not long after being implanted she started to exhibit irrational and violent behavior. It would come in episodes, where she would be normal for a while and then erratic. As time went by the erratic behavior became longer lived and more violent, to the point that she all but destroyed her carousel horse collection, which was her pride and joy, as well as being down right mean to everyone around her. From what little I observed, it was very similar to the effects of Alzheimer's disease, of which I have some experience through a family member. Not too long before her death, during one of her lucid moments, she broke down into tears and told her husband that during her erratic times she was inside watching herself doing these things, yet was unable to stop herself. It was as if something else were driving her body and she just stood by helpless to stop it. She felt guilt and remorse at her actions and was basically asking for forgiveness. She died not too long after.

For me, just imagining this type of situation is enough for me to not want anything implanted in my brain. If I ever happen to be in a situation similar to her's I might think differently, or I might be a bit more accepting of my situation considering the possible alternative.

The Airforce actually conducted public experiments where people learned to control a device remotely with their thoughts. The device could be at any distance, so long as it was in Earths electrical cavity.
