What body Improvements are already availible to us?

So far I found

————-

1. Magnet in your finger
Insert a neodimuium magnet under you skin.
You will be able to feel magnetuc fields.

Costs: 200$ if you go to a professional doctor, 20$ and a bottle of vodka if you do it yourself at home.

Pros: You can easily percieve if a wire alternate current is cicrulating.

Cons: If you screw up the operation or it get infected AND you don't go to medic soon you can loose a finger. A MRI scan will tear the magnet from inside you.

—————

2. The North Paw
put a belt on your leg that vibrates towards north.
You will be able to insitnctively percieve that direction after soem time
http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f358/

Cost: 150$

Pros: You laways know where North is

Cons: The battery runs out eventualy. You have to wear it to have effect.


——–




3. Infrared Vision
https://experiment.com/projects/can-we-biologically-extend-the-range-of-human-vision-into-the-near-infrared

You eat for a month a diet vitamin A1 repalced with vitamin A2. ANd you begin te be abel to see near infrared.

Cost: estrapolating form the project around 100$ for a month diet.

Pros: you see better in dark palces.

Cons: to mantain the effects you have to stay on the diet (results about it are not yet publsihed)

Sounds like an EE or electrician's wet dream. Mostly electrician, but EEs who work heavily with trafos/power supplies would appreciate it.

>2

Being able to "instinctively" perceive north sounds like it'd give you a huge advantage. It's not really comparable to a compass/botnet GPS because you'd have to take the compass/botnet out of your pocket to use it. The appeal seems to lie in "stealthily" imbuing oneself with an unnaturally good sense of direction, especially in urban places you've never been to.

Still, it's 150 kuai.

I was thinking, there probably is a way to use the magnetic sensor in your smartphone to always know where north is without taking it out of your pocket by using the vibration, you just need a way to encode that information. Fucking morse code or something.

>>16767
>>16760
Consider the following:
Different MRIs + different settings make for different results. As a best practice they should be avoided regardless.

The magnet thing isn't really an issue from my understanding. Typically in scenarios where somebody has shrapnel imbedded in them they would just cover it with some sort of lead blanket.

The thing I would be worried about is if an impact would chip off a small piece of the magnet or if it ever downright shattered. Image that shit entering your bloodstream or if a piece you didn't know you had left in you came flying out during an MRI.

 No.16799

>>16795
I'm not sure if a piece in your blood stream that entered through tiny finger vessels is a problem due to it being tiny. I imagine the body has ways to deal with small magnetic materials. Because if it didn't all the iron in your blood would be attracted to it and you would hear about people have blood clots from balls of iron.

You are missing the point.

Something like sub-dermal armor is completely beyond current technology which should go without saying. Nobody is even going begin developing such a thing due to how difficult something like that would be. There are MANY more practical things that having a higher impact in terms of the number of people affected, health risk, and probability of difficulties developing than something like body armor even if it was possible. "SUV fumes" is just a single example.

I don't think that's stupid. Like, how are you gonna recharge your implants? You're not always going to be near a power source and sunlight is not a wery reliable option. Sure it's stupid to have them outside the body but implanting turbines into large arteries seems like a good idea.

 No.19209

>>19208
Then you're an absolute fucking retard.

Assuming you could set up a perfect turbine in the bloodstream, you're putting significantly increased strain on the heart. That power isn't coming from nowhere. That means you're dropping years off your life, and putting yourself at risk of a heart attack - and what if you have a replacement heart?

And even then, you won't get shit for power compared to what you'd get solar. Not a fraction of what you'd actually need, ESPECIALLY for any kind of mechanical/moving implant.

And with that specific (fake) bit of jewelry, you're running into an incredible number of medical issues. Even Lepht, the fucked-in-the-head tranny biohacker, knows how bad transdermal stuff is - and not only is that shit transdermal, but it's taking blood out and passing it through a dangerously exposed environment where it will cool and come in contact with metal.

In the Soviet Ogonek, Georgi Blok describes a sensational exhibit at a recent meeting of the Moscow Surgical Society. On the platform close to the guests of honor stood a large white dog, wagging its tail. From one side of its neck protruded the head of a small brown puppy. As the surgeons watched, the puppy's head bit the nearest white ear. The white head snarled.

The two-headed dog, no freak of nature, was the latest product of Surgeon Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov, chief of the organ-transplanting laboratory of the Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences

I did say that having them outside the body is stupid. At the rate science is progressing in a few years increasing the power output of the heart shouldn't be a problem, we can already grow muscle fibers in a lab environment it's only a matter of time before we can successfully use those extra fibers to make the heart stronger. Sure one turbine is not enough, but many working together can surely at least charge a flashlight battery. And I never said that the turbines should be the only source of power, the biomechanical force form the movement of the legs and arms can be harvested as well. They dont have to actively supply power to the augs, just charge the battery.

 No.19244

>>19233

There are a number of electrical power technologies that might turn out to be much more efficient than turbines. Thermocouples are advancing rapidly, for example.

In the near future we will probably see implanted pacemakers that can draw power from the patient's metabolism.

However, don't expect a metabolically-powered laser gun.

>don't expect a metabolically-powered laser gun
Don't expect laser guns full stop, they're cumbersome and impractical. Not to mention internationally illegal. We'd need a huge advancement in power storage capacity, and a huge miniaturisation of lasers. There's little point when rooty tooty bullet guns are fine.

eh, half the idea of magnet implants is that they're always in so you don't have to look like an autist with a magnet taped to your hand


 No.21872

>>21869

let me put it to you this way:

- Neodymium is poisonous to the human body, and magnets are prone to breakage, or lining tears. You stand a high chance of post-surgery complications.

- Magnets weaken over time. You need to surgically replace your magnets periodically to maintain sensitivity. Thus, your implants are going to become useless and are not future-proof in the slightest.

- The only surgeries that you can get to implant these are done by back-alley body-modders with no anesthesia. Thus, good tech won't be produced for grinders, because it won't catch on compared to wearables.

If looking like an autist was something we really cared about as a society, we wouldn't have people pressing glass panes against their faces to make phone calls like we do now. These things change.

Wearables are the future, and you know it.


 No.21876

>>16762

well, there's something kinda like that that you could get implanted (or implant youself). There is a guy on Biohack.me who put a finger magnet into the tragus of his ear, and was able to play music through a large coil around his neck.


 No.21883

>>16772

totally agree about the North Paw. A good analogy for it would be math: a compass is like a calculator, I'ts obviously the best option as it gives you exact results, but requires you to take it out and divert your attention to it. finding north by looking at the sun or moss is like the pen and paper method. You need extra knowledge and experience to use it, but the results aren't always accurate and it too requires your full attention. The North paw would be like doing mental math. you can get a rough estimate almost instantly, but also have the ability to expand upon it depending on how much of your attention you are willing to sacrifice.

I believe Transhumanism is less of a movement and more of a natural thing. This is going to happen just like people all started driving cars. Once people can do it, they will. The resistance will be nasty and the first bit might have some violent resistance, even, but we will continue evolving.


 No.29230

>>29228

Lets humor the idea that there comes along a body modification that has a functional purpose that would improve quality of life similar to driving vehicles. And lets put public adoption and social stigma aside too, because who cares? (I don't.) Lets say it's not networked in any way as well so we can avoid talking about HIPAA or other types of compliance that would regulate distribution and creation of any implanted devices or the like.

So, with all of that out of the way, how the fuck are you going to afford it? How are you going to maintain it? How are you going to make sure your "mechanic" isn't ripping you off when you go to get your shit repaired? All of this shit requires brouzouf unless you are doing it yourself.

If you actually think this is something you will be able to just have done for you in the future then you need to get that golden spoon out of your mouth or your head out of your ass.

None of this is a problem with grinding.

But.. Lepht hasn't been doing this for the attention; she clarified many times that any sort of documentation for her activities were immensely obscure; why are you making assumptions of her intention in doing the talk in the first place? You have no argument there. She's no Tim Cannon; that guy is the very definition of an attention whore when it comes to the grinding community. Lepht's online presence has been all but nonexistent since her 27C3 talk. Also,

How about a respirator that oxygen-enriches the air you breath? I have asthma, and that would be great if I had to get away from somewhere on foot. It could even dispense a bronchodilator right into my air stream automatically.

In fact, you could use that to get most kinds of medicine into you quickly if you can't get into a vain.

Yes. IV isn't the most secure thing, the viruses and whatnot getting straight into your bloodstream–no thank you. We also need it to monitor your blood pressure etc and respond accurately with drugs.

I know this is going back a bit but just in case someone read this post and didn't immediately label it wicked bad shit I'll just remind everyone the pupil is encircled by a muscle (a sphincter to be exact) and even if you pulled this off without compromising your sight you would definitely lose your ability to adjust to light exposure.

>i have asthma

had that too. instead of body augs why don't you try changing your diet to healthy organic food (worked for me and my parents) and maybe even try a poop transplantation?

science suggests that sicknesses of civilization like asthma, obesity, diabetes, allergies come from unhealthy lifestyle that kills off the microbes with which we apparently live in symbiosis.

Stuck a magnet in my finger last weekend. Feels good man. It didn't hurt near as much as I was expecting.

Silicone is outdated tech. I'm hoping my titanium coated one will be less vulnerable to breakage.

I can't imagine that will work as well because a)it's not completely surrounded by nerves and b)unless you have it on at all times in the exact same spot you won't get >muh neuroplasticity. Plus you have to deal with putting it on every day, the bandaid falling off, having your fingers turn to prunes, etc.

Idiot(s). MRI's are serious business. Search the internet for some MRI accident pictures. Pieces of furniture that were not supposed to be that close to the machine get sucked into it. A fucking magnet buried under you skin would rip out so fast.

Jesus, just get a magnetic ring! No pain, no risk of infection, no looking like a tard, no having a piece of metal ripped out of your hand. It's a win win.

pro tip: we don't have to guess what happens when you put a finger magnet in an MRI because it's been done. And it's fucking nothing. Maybe some bruising but it won't rip it out of your skin. And anyway if you really need an MRI I think you have bigger things to worry about than removing a magnet, which takes like 5 minutes.

11 days after implantation. I can feel emissions from electric motors and some power bricks 1-2" away. Definitely not sensitive enough to locate wires in the walls or anything, but it's pretty cool.

Can you feel the hard lump under your skin? Is it painful to put pressure on? Could you go rock climbing or whatever with it in?

I've been considering getting one of these, but only if I don't lose sensation or capability in the implanted finger.

A bit of advice. Remove one of your testicles and replace it with a round, titanium coated neodymium magnet. It won't be in your way when climbing and you're probably going to notice nearby magnetic metals and perhaps electric currents.

>Can you feel the hard lump under your skin?

yes

>Is it painful to put pressure on?

It twinges a little bit if I push in a certain direction. Not sure if that's permanent or because it's not fully healed. With normal use it's not noticeable.

>Could you go rock climbing or whatever with it in?

I think so. The ideal placement is to the side so when you put weight on it it doesn't get pinched against the bone. Still there is always a chance it will break and I'll have to remove it.

>don't lose sensation or capability

For me sensation is completely normal, although I suppose there is a chance you could fuck something up digging around in there. For capability I'll have to wait a few months before passing judgment.
