Amal Graafstra's TEDx talk is a nice intro. There are a few other TED talks on biohacking (e.g. Ellen Jorgensen) that are a pretty palatable way to gain insight for those with no concept of what biohacking is.

I'd like to thank everyone who has responded to this survey. All of the answers are meticulous, well-put, and useful. It gives me a good sense of the current state of technology among grinders and where things may be headed. This community has made it apparent to me that the ethics of doctors doing experimental or…

@AmmonRa - THAT is awesome! Thanks very much! Much better way of doing it. Now I just need to figure out how to see responses, and how to keep this forum post active so people will notice it and give entries.

Notice how all of these fancy surface magnetic piercings and many implant videos you see only show the immediate 'on the table' result. Anything can be made to look good for a few hours after it's done. Whether it lasts or becomes a problem later is an entirely different question and one that I wish there were more answers…

Another few bits of information that would be useful, pointed out to me by a member of this forum: * Where was your implant sourced from (homemade, retailer, a laboratory etc) - IF you feel comfortable saying so? * What is the surface composition of the implant that will interact with the body (any special coating,…

Sorry, "hope" to obtain, not "have" to obtain

@glims a separate page would be fine, particularly if people could input things directly into a spreadsheet so I didn't have to re-enter it all later, but here we reach the limits of my technological capabilities... (we all have our areas of specialty). As MattGuy suggested, I cannot hide your screen names on these posts,…

Well, that's where I come in. More than capable of performing the procedure. However, we first need to come up with agreed-upon ethical guidelines for performing these types of procedures. My best thought on how to do that is to collect an information registry from the members of this forum that documents what they have…

At the risk of sounding critical, the thinking may be too complex with the neural progenitor cells and nerve growth factor, etc. Brilliant people spend their entire careers trying to get things like that up and running. Probably more fruitful to focus on the integration of existing readily available technology with the…

The powder you're referring to is actually commercially available under the trade name "ACell" It may or may not have some mildly beneficial effect on scar formation (certainly not enough to be routinely used in implant procedures among plastic surgeons); but I'm not sure it would really prove beneficial for the…

A couple of answers: Implanting a magnet subcutaneously is inherently problematic because they are prone to move in response to magnetic fields. This is what provides the tactile feedback you are after; the magnetic doesn't directly give input to nerves. Rather, the motion of the magnet is transduced to neural impulses by…

Greetings! New to the forum and hope to provide some insight as well as potentially identify some serious collaborators for future work. Skils:* Physician, plastic surgeon * Detailed knowledge of human anatomy and surgical procedures * Active researcher into surgery of the peripheral nervous system Past skills: * 1 year of…
