Developing a sense for electricity
Hi guys, I think this is my first time posting here, but I'm fascinated with what you guys do and have tried. It completely changed my view on science and the individual since delving into this world of 'weirdos' and 'transhumanism' and what that really meant. I believe that we are the future - a world where we have full control over our bodies and every human is only bounded by their imagination (which is really true already, people don't realize it). I've had an idea about an explanation for 'empathy' or how some people are just good at feeling 'prescence' of other people - they are better at detecting electricity!
Do people have auras/electromagnetic fields? (yea..)
Do people have auras/electromagnetic fields? (yea..)
How is that affected by the state of our brain? If we're more active or happy, I wonder if this is a significant difference in our field that surrounds us compared to when we are sad or in a different mood.
We have identified that yes! Our cells CAN detect electricity and its regulated by genetics. What's not to say that over time people will become better and better at doing this because of epigenetic evolution happening throughout the last 100 years with our ever increasing exposure to electromagnetic waves?
Dunno, just some thoughts I've had that would be interesting if someone actually gathered the data and looking into this from a genetics point of view and the perceived emotional IQ/empathy of a person.
(there are a lot of other interesting implications of this in terms of regenerative medicine and cognition if we consider how small currents/magnets on our scalp can do some really cool stuff. I think that would provide more evidence to an evolution explanation - our brains want to continue to evolve and seek out sources of electrical stimuli? Just rambling..)

Hair standing up while being in a room with VERY high voltage your body does pick it up and you can "feel" it in an odd way.
I'm not sure if that's what your referring too
Second, you'd have to show evidence that human cells detect the fields produced by another humans cells. MRI's for example are in shielded rooms. If our best equipment requires shielding, then it's unlikely our cells can do better and get meaningful data from the environment.
Basically, what I'm saying is that while this may be an area to start researching.. this would require the design of a study, funding, and then careful analysis. Regardless of the result, it isn't actually a grind. So refocus this. What is it that you'd really like? Are you looking to feel others emotions? Because there might be a better approach to this ability.
Now there is a way this could almost work. The thing is, to detect EM fields, you generally need to produce your own rather strong EM field and then rather than directly detect the field you're interested in, you detect disturbance in your own field. Problem, it won't work very well on land. Er, well at all actually. But it works great for electric eels and sharks since the water conducts the field better. And it should go without saying that the modification needed to make this work is absurdly difficult. Assuming u wanted it biological anyway.
And as far as the IR light being invisible, it's been proven we can expand our vision to see certain spectrums of light by doing something as simple (but hard) as eating an incredibly restrictive diet. We have night vision goggles, etc, but I know that goes without saying we can't exactly implement into our bodies at this point.
Maybe another explanation would be how our bodies transmit and receive biophotons, which goes back to at least some linkage to our bodies EM fields.
Anybody know of any research into the limbic system with emotion and biophoton emission or something along those lines?
This what you mean? It's definitely possible THEORETICALLY to introduce these traits in any other species, just not sure how much you'll be able to pick up (with air being the medium). Also, we won't be doing anything like this anytime soon (captain is obvious).
In terms of air, all we have to do is use a very high voltage field. Maybe a corona discharge. How cool would it be to be surrounded in a glowing purple sphere and disrupt electronics in a 2 foot radius?
