  • It’s not entirely impossible. But the biggest issue is the significant increase in size you’ll have adding wires to the part that actually goes through the skin (I’m afraid I don’t know what that part of said implant is called). As it is they tend to have lower rejection rates due to being tiny. So the very surface of the…
  • Why is that... funny...
  • Maybe this should be more obvious to me, but “glow in the dark” tattoo ink that gets charged from uv light is already a thing. Why are we trying to put it in little glass tubes? My original idea was basically to make what looks very similar to a tattoo in the end result, that is, preferably with sharp defined edges, not…
  • I’m curious, was the blinking in the video intentional or was that the result of the chip needing to build up the power it received in order to light up the light, like a flash on a camera builds up power because the camera can’t supply enough power constantly to just light it up on a whim. Also, cool. My latest thoughts…
  • On the topic of autografts, I’ve heard that when temporarily removing bones, like a section of skull bone to allow brain tissue swelling to... well to swell without killing itself, they may implant said bone in another location, like the abdomen, so the body’s blood supply and immune system can help to preserve the bone…
  • Okay, so I’ve recently developed an increased interest in this but have a few questions, I got impatient and only read as far as page 3 before asking, so it may have been answered and I just didn’t see it yet. Has anyone measured apparent surface coverage for the light as it appears to be emitting from the skin? Like... I…
  • The chip has metal. Capacitive touch screens like those found in phones and tablets today function by emitting a small EM field above the screen, specifically a unique field emitted by each “pixel” of the screen’s “digitizer”. “Capacitive” materials like skin and metal interfere with this field, allowing the screen to…
  • Doing some research for myself concerning tubes. I’ve found reading through pages on this list helpful. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Implants_(medicine) Copy and paste that. It didn’t properly hyperlink the whole thing and I don’t know how to fix it from the mobile site.
  • Sorry if it wasn’t clear. I meant I was interested in the possibility of creating new nerves, particularly the challenge of getting the brain to recognize them as a unique nerve in the “nerve map” thing. I sort of figured that, if desired, one could somehow add a branch to an existing nerve that went somewhere else, but…
  • Well, one person read the whole post... thanks for that response Radon86. That’s pretty much what I thought.
  • I've thought a lot about metal based tattoo... ink... uh... if it would actually be ink like, I don't know... but the point is it'd be like metal, but in thousands of particles rather than a sheet. My thought was for conducting electricity without wires. If I thought it would work, I'd go for it. I just can't imagine there…
  • I like that. PS... It seems to require an account to view...
  • Welcome to Biohack.Me. As someone who doesn't get on as often as I'd like, my recommendation is to scroll back through the first few pages on the forum, read all of any topics that look interesting, and whenever you get back on make sure to scroll back as far as needed to revisit those same topics, the unread post count…
  • @ChrisBot I like the idea. Potentially better than mine, except for possibly requiring so much magnet surface area, that it could be difficult in an area with muscles, that flexes regularly. Like my forearm. That said, I do like the idea. I'd be curious to know if you could achieve the same thing with strips or even one or…
  • Having done quite a bit of research and a little physical work with Qi charging tech, it's worth noting that the Qi standard utilizes a one-way communication system, that is... Qi Charging Pads constantly transmit a minuscule amount of power, similar to an RFID reader. When you place a Qi Charging receiver device, such as…
  • I'll admit that it sounds neat and I've thought and researched extensively about various "hacking" [read: "malicious hacking to control someone else's device" as the word 'hacking' actually just means to do something in an untraditional or unintended manner] methods and exploits. That said, personally, I don't care who the…
  • I know it has a slightly nicer interface, and nearly everyone has a Google account, but if you're concerned about revisions, vandalism, permissions, change tracking, etc... the MediaWiki software is really designed for that. And very good at it. Of course that does require a hosting solution, but if you don't care for…
  • The article does note that chewing the ingredients could be more viable than drinking. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_administration That said, I can't get the photoshopped pictures out of my mind. Definitely leaning toward fake. Regardless of what their knowledgeable research seems to say.
  • I figured it was somewhat placebic, but wanted a second opinion. As I mentioned, not interested in that myself, even if I was, I'd prefer something more along the lines of pills, drink cocktail, or injection, I don't chew gum, incredibly can't stand chewing gum. Mostly because of spitting out something afterwards.…
  • Thanks for the heads up with that, they're smaller than the 35 mAh battery id been using for my Bluetooth communications device. A prototype device is been working on with the device pinned behind the ear and a small wire running (I imagined through a piercing eventually, but just around the bottom when I was developing…
  • The Arduino just fell best into what I would say I'm more or less experienced with, if you have another prebuilt solution, I'd love to hear it.
  • Regrettably, I won't be there. I'd love to know how it goes though.
  • This looks to be a great project guys, good work on that chironex. Id love to see this sort of thing somehow made smaller, I don't know a ton about how radio telescopes work, but if you had a smaller antenna dish, what are all the he downsides? Could you possibly work around the small dish problems if you had a computer…
  • Unless it was contoured to fit each person, my suggestion wouldn't be for finger tip placement. Blood circulation is important I suppose... New idea... skin that doesn't need a continuous blood supply! Any thoughts on that one? Mine all involve advanced robotics. (That was a rhetorical question, no need to answer.)
  • I'd be interested in it as a rapid muscle regeneration technique to heal damaged tissue.
  • I wouldn't take government funding. Unless I could do it somehow completely anonymously.
  • If it worked, really worked. Was barely noticeable when not lit, and didnt require a phone or other device to set the time, easily $1000. It'd be important to me to not require something like a phone to set the time. Also, I'd happily trade battery life away for thinner design if that helps. 2 mm would be my preference to…
  • Turns out it's not that easy to find a six year old video about what may have been a faux technology prototype when all you remember about it is the video itself, not the title, or uploader.
  • On a slightly unrelated note, I'd be curious to know if anyone's experimented with "plate" magnets. (My term, just made it up, might already be a different term for what I'm talking about and "plate" may refer to something else.) I mean, like, a wider than typical magnet that's no thicker than a dime after coating. I…
  • I saw a video once, I'll see if I can find it, with prototype wireless power tech, used in a wireless mouse and keyboard, beams power at least a couple feet from the computer display to the peripherals, allowing them to be used without batteries at all. I thought it was amazing. That was like 6 years ago. Now all we have…
