This makes me wonder:
1 - Since this device can control this person's own movements, could the movements of somebody else be controlled?
2 - Can the sense of touch this person feel be transmitted to someone else?
3 - Could the sense of touch be "filtered" (like applying a Photoshop filter)?
4 - Could these sensations be recorded and replayed?
At least in principle, all of these should be possible. It seems we're rapidly moving towards a world where we can control each other's bodies and radically change or even induce perceptions.
- stinos 7y agoTheoretically the answer to all your questions is yes. Simply said (but not false AFAIK, I work in the field): stimulate the correct group of brain cells and you can achieve pretty much anything you want; after all everything you do/feel/think is done by having groups of cells activated and communicating with each other somehow. The main problem is finding those groups of cells.. There is an incredible amount of research left to do on how to do it because what we know about the brain is still much less than what we do not know, and the implementation (hardware etc) is also complicated on all levels you van imagine.
- Ygg2 7y agoYeah, but what if your sense of touch is different than another's? Like say you are blind and the way you process touch is completely different. Not to mention sense of touch isn't standardized by a regulation's body.
