Think outside the box (and yourself)

You have to love the occasional Science article that comes out of no where and involves relatively simple off the shelf equipment. This one is mind blowing for its implications. For most of us, and for the most part, our sensory perceptions are fairly accurate. And we experience few optical illusions during routine living. But this is now about to change. The day will soon arrive when all of us will be wearing computerized info-goggles. When this day comes, imagine the implications of a "sensory virus." In the short term, this technology may have a lot of commercial implications such as sensory rewiring for those in chronic pain.
