A great leap into the future shows me Matrix-alike plugs that can teach me Kung-Fu in a few seconds. You thought it’d never become real? Think again. It’s about to happen in the near future !
“The technique could one day be used to create video games in which you can smell, taste, and touch, or to help people who are blind or deaf. The U.S. patent, granted to Sony researcher Thomas Dawson, describes a technique for aiming ultrasonic pulses at specific areas of the brain to induce “sensory experiences” such as smells, sounds and images.”
Wow. So to break open an almost closed case, people in a coma could be able to virtually sense things, if this technology would be specifically deployed in the medical sector. But it isn’t. Let’s not jump to conclusions. Yet. Question is : If this technology is going to be fine-tuned and improved, at what point will we be able to know if it is being used on us?
Because here’s the thing:
“The pulsed ultrasonic signal alters the neural timing in the cortex,” the patent states. “No invasive surgery is needed to assist a person, such as a blind person, to view live and/or recorded images or hear sounds.”
O-how. This is a very dangerous tool in the wrong hands my friends !
