Consciousshift With Julie Ann Turner

Frustrated with the slow pace of natural human evolution, scientists, researchers, and biohackers across the globe are pushing the boundaries of sensory perception in bold new directions. The results are fascinating - as Julie Ann and her ConsciousSHIFT Guest, award-winning science journalist Kara Platoni, author of WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY: How Biohackers, Foodies, Physicians, and Scientists are Transforming Human Perception, Once Sense at a Time -will explore in this thought-provoking ConsciousSHIFT Show.Labs are developing brain-controlled robotic limbs that could one day provide people with prosthetics the sense of touch; advances in visual implants are restoring sight to those who have lost it; and the biohacker startup Grindhouse Wetware recently launched Northstar, a light-up skin implant inspired by bioluminescent animals. They hope to one day engineer a version that will include a magnetic compass, giving the user a semi-innate sense of direction. Kara Platoni will introduce us to researchers who are
