Thread: OBE's explained

Turn it into a video game. One day you will put a helmet on that can send those electrodes through the flesh and skull to the brain and we can have our own fun for aslong as we want.

Both excellent ideas.

I just worry that I may miss out on something that I now take for granted...

Sometimes, if we humans play with something, we actually mess with something else that we did not realize until it is far too late to fix. With a disease doctors can say the patient is taking a risk to be helped with disease. This idea makes me... yugh! I'd rather just keep on dreaming!

This would be amazing for people who are disabled, who can't get up and walk around, or even those that are fully paralyzed.

I wonder how many people like that know about lucid dreaming, which is already available and just takes practice, not electrodes in the brain.

I read a book by Jean-Dominique Bauby - The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly. He was a completely paralysed guy. I would not say lucid dreaming, but his sanity lied close to this! And, by the way, they are teaching robots to move with electrodes [I]on the scalp[I], not in the brain. The first ones I can take off whenever I wish! I still prefer the dreaming, though...
