Bionic eyes and new human senses

*As i promised, i would tell you a bit about bionic eyes, and the groundbreaking research which just seen the light in 2015. Our first story happened in England, where we had the first bionic eye implant in the world in June 2015. More about this on this link. The only limit that i heard about is that the person who will accept this need to have seen at some moment in the past. The psychological implications are too many for someone who did not seen before. And not researched enough. For the moment.

Or you can see it on YouTube. 


**But is this the only thing, this bionic eye? What if we can do even more? What if we can adapt this eye to see in infrared or in other frequency of the light specter ? The possibilities are endless. And we can do it for our hearing, or for our smelling or tasting too. We all know that our brain is very good in accepting peripherals. Maybe the neuroscientist David Eagleman is not so far fetched as he seems in this TED talk. 


Fascinating!

And i will not even talk about the laws and absurd rules that are or are not set at the moment related to this subject. 

P.S. Second Sight - the company beyond the functional bionic eye concept is having an IPO. Shall we buy some shares now?
