Adding new senses is nothing new in biohacking community. Back in 2014 Dutchman Maarten Den Braber installed a magnet at before his keynote at Biohacker Summit. He was not the first one to opt in for an idea of gaining the new body ability to sense electromagnetism. The first experiments with magnetic implants were registered in 2012. Today, what happens when people attach a new sense in their bodies is being addressed in new qualitative studies from top universities in the world. “By the end of the next decade adding new senses will be as common as having a mobile phone is today”, says Liviu Babitz, co-founder of Cyborg Nest, a company working in the field of sensory augmentation. Researchers from Ravensbourne, London School of Economics (LSE) and Central St. Martins (CSM) are taking sensory augmentation to the next level by launching a joint research project to determine the effects of adding new senses to humans. The study is based on the North Sense, non-medical semi-invasive enhancement product designed by Cyborg Nest and will address what it means to be human in a world with the opportunity of sensory augmentation. The North Sense is an exo-sense, which means that it …
