[quote:Anonymous Coward 31036137:MV8yMTQzMDE2XzM2MTkzMTMwX0ZGQkM5QjUy] 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. That was back in 1998. [/quote]
Original Message
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.
