But is it any different than having any other metal implant, which is quite common nowadays? As for the hard drive, it seems like the strength and/or size of the magnet you need to implant to make these sensations isn't enough to be too much of a hard drive hazard. What about an open architecture for sensory augmentation? Modular implant casings, sensor implants, and a communication protocol to connect them to a network. It doesn't even have to be high tech, just sterile. :) Heh, yeah, they mention the MRI problem in the article.

Pretty cool though, the idea of artificially adding extra senses. Just as long as you’ll never need an MRI.. :)
