Tongue Sight???
March 30, 2010
I saw a program on this last night. It is the idea that the brain can reprogram itself to take inputs from any source and process them as if they are “images”. In this case, subjects are given electrical pulses to their tongues and they are able to “see”. Other test subjects regained their sense of balance from electronic stimulation through the tongue!! VERY COOL!
