Abstract

Multisensory Dysphasia has been measured in increasing numbers among the millenial generation and has been linked to increased exposure to networked computer-based interaction. Speculative cinema, such as Source Code and The Matrix, propose far-fetched visions of the potential for computer-mediated sensory immersion. However, though the technology may be fanciful, the fundamental underlying notion of neural-stimulation is sound, and the potential is unlimited for even relatively low-definition Internet transmission redirecting what has previously been studied as catastrophic multisensory loss (aka sensory fail) to augmented neural capacity by replacing analog with computer-processed information streams. In this paper, we outline initial results in our tests on replacing biological sensory perception with Internet-based sensory perception. In two separate experiments using a procedure first reported in the 1976 Annals of PRC brain science, out of Singapore, and expanded greatly at Agilent Online University located in Scottsdale, AZ, the researchers have successfully clinically replicated the implantation of rat brains with SensoRex Systems which gave them Internet-only sensory data for sight and sound. We believe this process can be reproduced with human subjects in the near future to address a possible MSD pandemic.
