its almost there....

its coming along nicely....

...

would't be awesome to get like a molar replacement surgery, of just a wireless earphone so you could listen to stuff too, on top of your ear-hearing? you could have the person frequency, or have a means of adjustign it (perhaps with a control frequency that only works when in close enough proximity, like a touch a programming wand to your tooth instead of having some sort of jack. ok thats a bit wack, but the idea of having the built in wireless receiving capabitlity (say make it a switch on, switch off thing when you bite down on it, so you could turn it off to goto sleep or something, and turn off any unwanted input. a constantly variable receiving signal that was in sync with your external control gui (you'd want to be able to adjust what your listening to, otherwise whats the point? either have a constant (though adjustable) recieving frequency, and you have to have a transmitter sending whatever audio content you want going into your internal earphone. so that means that it is dependent on an outside piece of controlling equipment, badf idea. could be hacked.

so you would want an internal means of managing your built in signal ears. if not some kind of mental control, then at least some mechanical means you could do without too much tongue work/strength. say a clickable on/off/switch and a turnable "wheel" for frequency adjustment, and the button (biting surface button) would be to change the frequency range by adjusting the sensitivity of the wheel. click on it more and changing it changes the frequency variation oh so much more delicately. so you can 'zoom' in to a frequency. up on one molar on the left, and down on the other side perhaps. stereo! frequent use will just make it pure muscle memory. probably suck for your tongue, or make you a better kisser. (or cunning linguist). or mishape your tongue so you can't chew shit anymore (no!)

control means are plentiful, i think we have teh tech definitely to build in earphones like this. sure yerah hooray we can affect the hearing impaired, but i was thinking more in a means of just pure usefulness. imagine the amount of data you could be receiving! it would have its broad range of effects, from making people able to just contact other people by placing a cell phone call and talking out loud to nobody (lol). once we can actually output the mind, we can have built in control chips that are activated by reading our thoughts. we have the technology to give ourselves new "senses" in teh sense of say, being connected "telepathically" to groups of people, or n internet link in your brain, though thatd be a bit extreme. The best part is that you would only have the "sensory" input going into your brain, not any sort of programming processes of the technology. you can hardwire teh control circuitry so that only input and control can come from the mental receivers, no way whatsoever can an outside force do anything to your built in control circuits, impossible to be hacked. The signal can be hacked, but not the cicuitry. the man will awlays be safe, but the transmission is open to whoever unfortunately. there will always be a way to mess with a signal that is wireless. but built int control to turn it off, or in standby so you could just get paged by people placing a telepathic call oir however you wanted to set it up. the only hard part here is the technology to input data directly alongside the sense we already have, because say we'd want a "layer" of an opaque internet window, that we could control the contrast on and such so as to fade it out if necessary or fade it in. thats crazy crazy small to do. these are teh types of scientists i want hanging round. people that are all passionate about augmenting us and know how to study the body for where to implant these types of tools. they couldnt' be externally controlled, even though they would need to be sheiled from physical attack like emp or magnetic fields n such. one could blow or something if a proper weapon was constructed if safety wasn't taken into account first. i don't want my brain having shortcircuited circuitry laying around. i would have to have programmable nanomachines i could inject on site to repair the control implant instead of having more surgery (unless you made surface jacks....UGH gross. no thanks. lets keep asthetic beauty please. a subsurface "magnetic" jack would work just fine, one could have a hardwire jack leading from a worn surface mount that didn't look any different because it was subcutaneous. thats fucking badass idea. you could have the hardwire jack be builtin to say a glove that was attatched to yuor external control hardware , and all you'd have to do to complete the circuit was place your fingertips with the surface jack to the spot say at the top of the back of the neck or at the temple or wherever you put it. unobtrusive, natural movement. you can even say have these backup control units that need physical circuit connection built in as control circuits for your internal control implants, like the server running the system. this is where you could have complete safe control and monitoring capabilities and troubleshooting if necessary of all your other built in hardware.

i nkow they are working on "wearable" helmet like thought reading contrl interfaces, but why not work on figuring out how to implant them, either nanomachine like surgery (more exacting in my opinion, kind of necessary to "grow" the implants in, somehow a controlled machine growth so as to attatch to the correct parts with minimal physical insertion, and thus possible body damage. why fuck up your other senses, because thats where these things might have to be installed...or with some sort of brain surface installation, which is just as ridiculous as a physical surgery. an injection like nanosurgery would be ideal, one would think, if it were possible to find a prime spot to place the implant. one could essentially find a means of placing a surface jack (the subskin one i just suggested) and at least have a mental control circuit, until someone manages to figure out how to implant input in the senses of vision.

so we have teh tech for an inputtable ear and the means to control it with a sub skin surface contact point for external control hardware. once we manage to implant a brain reading device made for controlling devices (not powerful enough to send out a wireless signal) it should be conceivable to attatch the built in audio receiver (signal reader) to the built in control circuit, giving one the built in ability to adjust what tehy were listenign to or turn it off without an external device. permanent sense adjustment perhaps?

then again, with some leap in mind reading technology, or perhaps some sort of adjustment to thinking in a manner including this new sense, will make it easier for us to control it on more of a "subconscious" level. we can just "feel" it out change it, say by just imagining a certain picture to go with it, like a rotating sphere, and turning it in a different direction was associated with a desired control result. eventually by repeating this process over and over, it'll becomre more "natural" to do, and you're control over it will be more like a muscle memory reaction than a forced mental announcement. perhaps someone will just find a way to "program" whatever you are "thinking" to be the value used for a certain instruction. like however it picks up you thinking about turning a ball left to rigth it goes up in freqwuency range, and up and down is volume, and rotating it would give different frequency types or perhaps imagining buttons for all tehse would be easier. that might work if you could have a recording device sensitive to this kind of stuff. which they do for the stuff they've been reporting in physorg and such.

at any rate this was a nice thought process. thats a lot of scientists to gather on a project. not to mention what other physical things would need to be taken into consideration, like perhaps i would like a super healing ability. perhaps one could combine implants with grown bio genetically engineered biotech implants that could be assisted by your immune system and were powered by your internal metabolism? thats fucking crazy. i would opt for just removeable, symbiotic implants that were autonomous, but say fueled by internal kinetic batteries to be permanently powered or something. working off our body temperature or something. or tiny, tiny little water fuel cells, lol, but sounds like biotech in being able to absorb water out of our system for a wfc. theres a zillion ways to power it off of the side effects of our bodies processes already without taking from its fuel sources or making complicated collector devices n shit. simple is best. simple can be extremely powerful, and is easier to repair or modify.


talk about "super powers" at that point. you could control robotic copies of yourself and be an unstoppable robot ninja army. or you could operate household devices by thought, as long as they were all working properly. You wouldn't be able to levitate a book across the floor, but you could fly a remote controlled robot, or check out broadcasted signals. you'd have telepathy in a sense but i think inputting direct "vision" overlaying would only be capable as a wearable eye piece (external gui). i think installing a direct feed splice would be dependent on some extreme surgical precision following some brain scanning device of uber sensitivity and detailed calibration.

oh wait, didn't you read about that guy who got an eye implant recently? he got an "implant" where his eye used to be and he can "see" in a sense, he sees stuff in a poorly pixelated "haze" i think it was described. i think there was some advancement recently, i should go look that up. im not one for a surface modification really, that just turns my tum tum. how can one have seamless surface additions? i wouldn't get a physical eye replaced with a techno one unless you couldn't tell. theres a small chance i would waiver on this if it looked AWESOME. but i'd rather just have a subsurface control implant and a layered section on my vision. because then i could have say extra scanning equipment and an internal HUD that would tell me more about what iw as looking at, say elemental composition or language translation or compass/direction or DISTANCE, or if electric fields or transmission sources or hotspots in a field area percentage value or something, labeling, or perhaps like a scan visor depending on the capability of the equipment you had. a procesing unit able to compare several different sets of data would perhaps let you do something like this:

working on an engine, you would have a mini radar that would let your other sensors know how far they are away from things you are looking at. the direction of the sensors would have to be able to be syncd with your point of view in some way. this could be externall calibrated and the algorithm could be maitained in tune to you with shape recognition software being what places the labels n HUD info in the extra layer on top of your vision. so you could look at an engine and get a spectrum analysis in a sense, some sort of xray sensor could be used to get a internal structure look at objects, which could be compared to data stored about machines n such, so you could look at an engine and get an optional layering of say blueprint info of the engine, labels telling you what the different parts you are looking at are, especially if you are unfamiliar with it or its new? ok thats a bit of a stretch. how about a hud consisting of info we can readily use, like temperature, local transmission and reception strength and audio gui, i think distance would be the easiest and perhaps one of the most useful. that and say translations, that would be possible right now. as for audio translations...thatd be hard because thatd be WAY hard to calibrate, but maybe it would get better with time. they have those answering machines at cell phone companies that can tell what you are saying and search for you n such. they can hear and understand words as values without having to be calibrated to one persons voice. so one should be able to have verbal translation devices already....

but a visible one? especially for reading languages of different styles, like written or ancient pictographs or whatnot. hell if you hve a visible HUD you can have nightvision n stuff too, and a 360 degree sense like thsoe tongue devices they have right now built in.

siiiigh....i like thinking about this kind of stuff....i shold go back to that model. this was a nice break.

I can imagine built-in brain-phones becoming the norm, in future...but can you imagine the telemarketing nightmares that would bring?

1). electromagnetic energy isn't high on the "good for the human body" list...

2). it's been done... CIA, NSA, the military, and many other secretive groups have been doing it for years...

1: true, but hey with a better human body....

2: of course, but its not like i'd go there to get it. nowadays normal scientists are getting away with it. i label the actual breaking awesomeness scientists that are being used in secret around the planet as unapproachable at first, not until heightened or augmented to be stronger n such, because thats the people we'll be dealing with :P
