Think about it. Isn’t light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their “influence at a distance”? We don’t feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we’ve sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.
Fair point, but then, most people don’t have this.
And even if you do it, you need to get some experience for your brain to develop a model of what to expect in certain situations. For instance, your brain will need some time to get used to the fact, that putting our hand on a fridge will give the brain new sensory stimuli because of the magnets on the fridge.
This intuitive understanding of light and sound is just that - brain neurons being used to what to expect. And even with an implant you would need to train that.
Though I’m definitely curious to experience once how that would feel like 😄
Get a tight-fitting glove, sew some magnets onto the fingers, wear the glove for awhile.
At least that won’t be disastrous if you need an emergency mri, they’ll just take it off
And you can still go through airport security.
I mean, it’d be no different than what it does for all the other sensors. Just those kick on and start training at birth whereas any augment is going to be in adulthood. But the brain is really really good at figuring that stuff out so it’d be interesting, kinda want to do it now lolol
