6 bizarre experiments to which people go to make your body more perfect

In order to gain access to the next level or steep reward gamers pumped abilities of the character, making it all the more perfect. However, there are mad experimenters, which is not enough simply to upgrade their characters in virtual reality, and then they try to get superpowers experimenting with his own body already in the real life.
Most people are often humiliating experiments on himself may seem reckless and futile exercise. In addition, and this is unlikely someone will dare to argue, in most cases, attempt to "hack" your own body can have serious effects health, if something suddenly goes wrong on the scenario, which had been planned. But, even with all the obvious disadvantages and dangers of such actions, throughout human history, there were brave souls who are ready to compromise himself and his own body.
Today transhumanists in their research went far beyond ordinary human possibilities have been attempts expand traditional feelings, mix them, thereby producing such interesting things like the ability to see in darkness or "Hear" colors.
A little history
The first person to introduce himself under the skin chip became a British professor Kevin Warwick (Kevin Warwick). It was not so long ago, in 1998, and became possible only after the following two conditions: obtaining a special resolution, allows you to experiment on himself, and the mandatory involvement of a physician to assist in the operations.
But Warwick was far from Graafstry Amal (Amal Graafstra), IT-consultant from Seattle, which is itself implanted himself with both hands on the chip, without asking anybody either permission or assistance. Graafstra uses chips to open the door of the house and the car, and then to log on the computer. Most recently, Amal became the first person implanted with a tiny photovoltaic chip in the forearm, to see how much light passes every day through our skin.
Below is a list of six bizarre experiments to which people go to make your body more perfect.
1. Tap electromagnetic fields
A simple experience, which is often put on a novice experimenters, is implanted in the pads of small magnets fingers. Typically, their size is less than a grain of rice, and the shell is composed of a material such as titanium, silicon or teflon. When the magnet is in the electromagnetic field, it begins to vibrate, and the man in whom he had lived in by the finger, it feels. It's like that for a moment to imagine yourself a microwave. Now you can easily show others different focuses: for example, you can draw your own clips with your fingers.
2. Feel like a dolphin
You want to feel the distance as well as dolphins? Hackers from Grindhouse Wetware (start-up, which is engaged in research aimed at expanding possibilities of the human body) has created a special device that allows you to translate this desire in reality.
Just as it makes a real dolphin, the device determines the location of an object in a dark room, using an ultrasonic distance sensor. Once the object is found, the device sends an impulse to a magnet on the user's finger, thereby providing it with information about the size of the object and the distance to it. As soon as a user approaches the object, pulse becoming more and more strong.
The device is also able to detect radiation and pick up Bluetooth signals. Thermal infrared sensor gadget responds to warm objects, such as an oven or clothes dryer when they are nearby. The device may be provided with additional sensors for detecting UV radiation.
3. Become a compass
Each of us at least once in a lifetime lost in a strange city, or simply could not find the correct address or a house. A group of researchers from the University of Osnabrück in Germany has decided to find out what affects our ability to navigate in space, and conducted a little experiment.
For seven weeks, nine men and four women wear special elastic belt with thirty small vibrating sensors which signal is supplied in case of the slightest deviation from magnetic north. After some time, study participants admitted that their ability to navigate in space has improved many times. "With this belt does not need to think about where you turn, you just feel it!" - said one of the men. After completion of the experiment, many admitted that they feel disoriented. By the way, such belt is quite possible to buy in the shops.
4. Learn how to perfectly see in the dark
Deep-sea fish living in oceansLive so far from the surface of the water that surrounds them absolute darkness. In order to at least see something, they use the light that comes from the other deep-sea animals. In addition, their eyes produce a special bioluminescent substance that helps to see.
In March 2015 the California biohakery decided to try to improve human vision, so that people can see in total darkness without any additional equipment. Experimenters have acquired a special substance - chlorin e6 - and not to injure the eye, it was diluted with insulin and saline, and then the resulting mixture was dripped into the eyes of one of the subjects. After applying the solution of man hours I have seen in total darkness. Danger to eyes from such an experiment is not yet revealed.
5. Hear Wi-Fi
Imagine how convenient it would be walking down the street, not to seek out the label on the door of a cafe with Wi-Fi icon, just to hear what is near an access point? London journalist Frank Swain (Frank Swain) has this ability! The fact that he was partially deaf and, therefore, has a hearing aid, which is connected via Bluetooth to his smartphone. Recently a friend of Frank hacked his phone software, and now the approach to Wi-Fi zone, Frank hears clicks. "In fact, I not only hear the Wi-Fi, but also can determine the brand and the type of router, Internet service provider and signal level", - says Frank.
6. implant headphones
Lee Rich (Rich Lee), the seller of Utah, has always dreamed of a truly wireless headphones. That's why he implanted himself in each ear (namely - in the tragus) on a small magnet. Then he hacked into your smartphone to transfer the signal booster special device antenna, located on his neck. This device creates an electromagnetic field around Lee's head. That it causes fluctuations in the magnets that Lee hears music. "The sound quality is pretty good," - he says.
Just do not try it all at home. Seriously!
