Quote:
Military researchers in the United States are trying to create super-warriors by focusing on the tongue.
By routing signals from helmet-mounted cameras, sonar and other equipment through the tongue to the brain, they hope to give elite soldiers superhuman senses similar to owls, snakes and fish.
Researchers at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition hope to turn fiction into reality by giving army rangers 360-degree unobstructed vision at night and allowing Navy Seals to sense sonar in their heads while maintaining normal vision underwater.
The device, known as "Brain Port", was pioneered more than 30 years ago by Dr Paul Bach-y-Rita, a University of Wisconsin neuroscientist.

I think the aljazeera network, is having some fun with its readers. Or they have been smoking too much brain pot.

I wonder what porn tastes like?

this is not exclusive to Aljazeera, it was actually created by a University of Wisconsin neuroscientist.
