You must adhere to proper sanitation and sterilization. And beforehand, you need to have soaked your magnet in antimicrobial solution. Inject lidocaine at the base of the finger to be implanted; that is, do two injections at base of finger on the sides or almost on the webbings between your fingers and then wait for about ten minutes or until you feel numb, and then inject on the sides again but this time on the sides of where you will be making the incision.
If the area is still not numb, you can do another injection of lidocaine. Cut blood flow to the finger by wrapping a rubber band around the base of the finger. You want the incision to be about 5mm across, and the pocket 5mm across under the skin.
Cut the 5mm incision to make an opening,. Carefully use a scalpel to carve a pocket that is 5mm across under the skin. This bears repeating; do not cut down, cut across. Hold and close the wound, put superglue and wait for it to dry, or suture it then clean it and cover it. Take off the rubber band. Wait for the wound to heal. And feel, as your brain slowly starts interpreting hitherto unperceived stimuli, opening up a new sense. Skip to content Magnetic Implants. Live phone pairs on the sides of houses sometimes startled me.
I become slightly phobic of magnetic resonance imaging machines. The superpowerful electromagnets used in medical imaging can make metal fly across a room and stick, often for the hours it takes to power down the magnets. A person with an embedded magnet runs the risk of having their implant ripped out of their body.
People with magnetic implants can't erase hard drives or credit cards. They don't set off airport metal detectors or get stuck to refrigerators. The magnets are small, and once encased in skin, all they do is react next to nerves, conveying the presence of sufficiently strong electromagnetic fields.
Implant work isn't ready for prime time. While Huffman loves his implant, he discourages others from getting it. The procedure itself is painful, and the results vary from person to person for unknown and unstudied reasons.
Huffman doesn't see it as a candidate for study. Zack Lynch, managing director of neurotechnology consulting firm NeuroInsights, is skeptical of the practice altogether. I'd worry about long-term problems, including corrosion. Several months after having the procedure, some people begin to have problems. Some magnets begin to turn dark under the skin, suggesting the bio-neutral silicone sheath is failing. Exposure to the body starts breaking down the magnets.
Two months after my own magnet was inserted, and long after the cut itself had healed, I experienced one of these problems firsthand. My shielding breached and the implant area became infected.
The infection resolved, but the region turned black and my sixth sense evaporated. My family doctor tried to remove the magnet and failed. Instead, the implant shattered into pieces, and I could no longer pick up other magnets with my finger. After months of ESP, all I had left was a sore digit with a dark spot. I figured that was the end, but it wasn't. Four months after I lost all effect, the spot darkened and the magnetism returned. Once you have a magnet in your finger, you can sense things that would otherwise be completely invisible to you.
The implant would allow you to sense magnetic fields, pick up tiny metal objects, and determine whether metals are ferrous. For example, it would be easy to feel large electric fields — like things your microwave or stovetop does.
It's also useful for people who work with electronics. The magnet would also enable you to feel the security gates you pass through when entering some stores. They can also be used to detect large electric motors when they start up and shut down — for example, motors in the fridge, or in streetcars.
You could also perform neat tricks, like pick up bottle caps and paper clips. There are finally some technologies that are being developed that will work on top of magnetic implants.
For example, you could build an electronic device that senses infrared and then transmits that information to you by vibrating that implant in certain ways. It could also be converted into a ranging device, allowing you to use your finger as an accurate way to measure distances.
In turn, any kind of electronic sensor could theoretically transduce that signal into the implant to get that experience directly. Typically, a person gets only one implant and they put it on a finger. According to most experts, the best and safest way is to get it on the fourth finger ring finger of your non-dominant hand.
