PENSACOLA, Fla. - In their quest to create the super warrior of the future, some military researchers aren't focusing on organs like muscles or hearts. They're looking at tongues.

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 envision their work giving Army Rangers 360-degree unobstructed vision at night and allowing Navy SEALs to sense sonar in their heads while maintaining normal vision underwater — turning sci-fi into reality....

Maybe creepy but its the first step to Universal Soldier....Just imagine several hundred Jean Claude Van Dam's running around, swimming into a beach or HALO or fast roping into an objective with instant data link to each other and no complaints about the weather or lack of vision on an op.

Would still get their tulips kicked by Chuck Norris every time.

Give MacGyver a pair of sissors and a cats hair and he would dominate them too with his anti-tounge device

That'd be devastating.  In a matter of hours, they'd exhaust the target country's cocaine supplies, and beat every woman in sight!

dang SOB I forgot about the secret coke head / wife beater raid. Those would be the special ARC Unisol's to take those targets down. Completely relentless and uncaring for the general population or collateral damage around the target...just pure unadulterated death and destruction.

PLEASE... there's (thank cod) only one JCVD... I think it's best for everyone if we keep it that way. He and Steven Seagal are both reponsible for 5% IQ drop for mankind.

This was in Wired over 2 years ago. Basically, your brain can take new signals and figure out the data for itself. Sort of like a usb port for your head. You literally plug in a new sense. They can already do these procedures, including implanting a camera in the pupil of a blind person, hooking it up to the brain, and giving them vision (very far from 20/20, but alot better than blind). It works, but it's still years from being viable.

I think within the next decade though it will be just as common in the States to see somebody with sockets on their skin as somebody with a seeing eye dog or hearing aids.
