Odd that they'd go that direction instead of directly hooking into the optic nerve.

I imagine the problem is encoding the electrical signals in the way the brain would understand, although I could be mistaken. Converting to some sort of stimulation-based system on the tongue seems comparatively simple.

Converting to some sort of stimulation-based system on the tongue seems comparatively simple. It's super hard to get nerve tissue to grow on an artificial substrate, much less the optic nerve. Way easier to get your brain to recognize tactile input on the tongue and relearn to interpret it than it is to make something small enough, robust enough, and not-ugly enough to use as a replacement eye. Plus the whole 'carve out your eyes for an experimental treatment' thing.

Depending on the form of blindness, chips have been developed that implant into the retina to return some sight - two different techniques here and here.

Like setting up someone to manipulate their artificial arm's grasp by attaching a wire to their kegel muscles.

Thump! posted:Would a blind person really miss them though? If I went totally blind and ended up having my eyes pulled out in a failed attempt to give me sight, I'd just replace the non-working cybernetics with giant googly eyes. Honestly, if I had cybernetics I'd probably dress them up to look like giant googly eyes anyway.

The horror movie VHS 2 on Netflix has a guy with cybernetic eyes but it might put you off the idea

Nah, camera lenses with remote controlled irises and color LEDs in them. That way you can look at someone and narrow them while they glow red.

I've been seeing this gif the wrong way every time it's been posted. He's pushing that off the end of one of those metal truck platforms, not a loading dock. The edge of the ramp looked like a concrete seam to me.

poo poo, you're right. That's how I'd always viewed it, too. The eye naturally follows the guy flying through the air and you don't noticed the platform moving.

The worst part is that if you're doing everything right, you'll have a second guy check the outriggers when extending or retracting them to make sure they're in the proper place.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03YcT74h5Mg Pleasure riding (horse with cart thing) class goes extremely wrong. Lots of nasty near-misses, and a few bad collisions. I especially like the guy who jumps in front of the horse trying to stop/catch it. (The horse wins - and my understanding is the man is lucky to be alive.) I'm no expert, but horse is completely panicked and these guys continue to leap at instead of all getting out of the ring (or moving to the center) and letting the thing calm down. Plus the person in charge doesn't issue any commands to the participants until things are pretty much out of control. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Jun 28, 2015 |
