That said, I think it'd be neat to combine the electronic compass with one of those smaller-than-match-heads GPS chips and create a 'homing sense', where you define a set of coordinates and the microcontroller does a bit extra work to check how close you are to that point, culminating in a tingly feeling as you get closer to your destination. if you're successful with southpaw, give that a try! maybe someday i'll muster up the balls to try that concept too.<br /><br />also: I only discovered all this shit last night after someone sent me the links to your presentation in Deutschland.

You can only feel it in your fingertips, because of the nerve density around there (so, it might work someplaces else, but not the elbows...). If it would be induced currents, pieces of plain metal would work just as well.<br /><br />To EM waves in general: They come in different wavelenghts (as do sound and waterwaves) and not every part of our body can recept certain wavelength as well as the other. So visible light is perfectly recepted by our eyes, IR and other stuff by our skin sounds below 20000 Hz by our ears and I don't know where the boundaries are, but at a certain point our body starts to feel the pressure waves and our ears stop to do so.<br /><br />So what the magnets are doing is converting the EM waves of frequencies which are far to low to be recepted by our eyes and skin to wiggling-motions of same or similar frequency which can be felt by the pressure-recepting nerves of our (or more accurately your) fingertips.<br /><br /><br /><br />MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-21409525880756781602010-06-30T15:38:59.277+01:002010-06-30T15:38:59.277+01:00Ian - it is, huh? shows what i know. i may have ha...Ian - it is, huh? shows what i know. i may have had a bit of a kneejerk response to Max up there; i think it was the whole "My senses already do that" thing, when clearly, they don't. what i was trying to say is that sight != localised electrical field perception.<br /><br />urgh, communications.<br /><br />LLephthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957644118179379305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-27544603255729004622010-06-29T19:29:57.539+01:002010-06-29T19:29:57.539+01:00EM is indeed made of photons, but that isn't w...EM is indeed made of photons, but that isn't what is important.

One of my favorites (as you may have guessed since I put it forward first) is the shark's electroreception. Infrared receptors would also be nice, but obviously well beyond the ability to throw together. Or at least mine - feel free to figure it out and prove me wrong.<br /><br />I need to look up the dynamics of the ampullae of Lorenzini. If the arrangement can be replicated by simple means, it'd be interesting to see how effective it could be made in open air (or if one could at least get something approaching a shark's electroreception while in salt water).Pneumonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380559994722732974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-16277473694877878432010-06-18T15:21:05.854+01:002010-06-18T15:21:05.854+01:00sup, Josephine. firstly, i noticed you like Boogie...sup, Josephine. firstly, i noticed you like Boogiepop, and you're as gender-fuckedup as i am, both of which make you awesome. second, your question:<br /><br />the answer is, actually i forget where exactly my posts end up; you can probably find them under the "h+" and "experiment ideas" tags, and i believe the first post i ever made about this stuff was entitled "meathacked". <br /><br />the internal compass is very much cooler than my other projects, yes. unfortunately it is also much longer in the making. i have no idea about the ampullae of Lorenzini, though - maybe? of course, you could always try it yourself.<br /><br />and don't worry about me thinking you're mad. that would be intensely, scaldingly hypocritical given my various mental illnesses and my meatspace appearance... that aside, there's nothing wrong with not translating your shit for the benefit of neurotypicals. it's your blog, you do what you want with it.<br /><br />LLephthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957644118179379305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-17064751251031034042010-06-18T14:51:22.705+01:002010-06-18T14:51:22.705+01:00I apologize if what I am asking is singularly stup...I apologize if what I am asking is singularly stupid, but I just ran across your website and I'm presently at school, so I can't read as deeply as I should. I was wondering if you could point to the posts that detail exactly how and (more importantly) where you implanted the devices, what implant technologies worked better than others, the devices used and how they were body-prepped, etc.<br /><br />Incidentally, while EM sensing is neat, the internal compass would be awesome. I could actually have a sense of direction. I'm wondering, though, if the EM sensor concept could be adapted to act as ampullae of Lorenzini. Although it's not going to be too useful in the air, oceanic divers could profit greatly from it.<br /><br />P.S. - Before you think I'm crazy, if you read my (old) blog most of what you're reading is my thoughts before they are translated into "normal".

In other words: sunlight is warm, and you can feel warmth<br /><br />Also, if the fields created by spinning hard drives and the like were made out of free electrons that traverse our body, that would basically be radioactivity (the beta minus kind, to be precise), and 'electrosmog' would be a lot more dangerous than it is. So whatever these fields are made of, it can't be free electrons or photons. They're not radiation per se, as there are no particle mediators to magnetism. If I understood it correctly (never take that for granted), electric fields are the fields propagated by (even stationary) electrons, magnetic fields are created by moving electric charges/fluctuating electric fields (and vice versa, see induction and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism), and electromagnetic radiation is just plain old light (/x-ray/microwave/ultraviolet/gamma, etc.)<br />I just hope not all of this is bullshit, otherwise that would be pretty embarassing...<br /><br />Then, I still think those airport scanners actually /are/ mind reading machines.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426429970161376876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-52090631754691194382010-05-14T18:57:51.917+01:002010-05-14T18:57:51.917+01:00I've got a question regarding airport security...I've got a question regarding airport security.
