Hmmm. Wouldn't that cause tissue damage? You'd think having an electrical current running through you would.

Hooolyyy shit.


'Methods and apparatus for distributing power and data to devices coupled to the human body are described. The human body is used as a conductive medium, e.g., a bus, over which power and/or data is distributed. Power is distributed by coupling a power source to the human body via a first set of electrodes. One or more devise to be powered, e.g., peripheral devices, are also coupled to the human body via additional sets of electrodes. The devices may be, e.g., a speaker, display, watch, keyboard, etc. A pulsed DC signal or AC signal may be used as the power source. By using multiple power supply signals of differing frequencies, different devices can be selectively powered. Digital data and/or other information signals, e.g., audio signals, can be modulated on the power signal using frequency and/or amplitude modulation techniques.'


In a way...I guess it'd be logical, since we do run off a low amount of electricity...but I would wonder how safe this be...I mean shit...this'd be cyborg.

Guess biochip implants in the brain would be next, huh?

Hmm, I wonder where in the body this would happen to avoid muscle spasms, etc. Interesting, though. I wonder what practical applications this has...

the idea behind this to create less clutter for say...a computerized suit. If you can use the human body as your wires to communicate, you wouldn't need tons of wire running up and down the body to connect the various devices of the computerized suit. i think this is one possible application for such a thing.

as for cyborg...i don't think so because the idea isn't to implant anything into a living creature...

So will we have no need for other wires when we can use use our bodies to connect a camera to a PC? At first read the first thing I thought was how they used humans in the Matrix... don't want to spoil it though, even if it is an old movie

But "Cyborg" technology is useful for disabled people, so it's a good thing it get's devoloped.
