Becoming cyborgs: exploring the future of the human body

As part of his experiments, Professor Warwick also created an additional sense within his brain – ultrasonic. This bat-like ability allowed him to sense small movements at a few metres distance. Due to the success of his research, Professor Warwick believes extra sensory abilities will become commonplace within the next 100 years. “I was looking to see if our brains could expand, which of course they can – it was no problem at all. We also experimented with infrared, which gives you a remote sense of heat, because humans can’t detect heat from a distance. I think almost anything is possible – UV, X-ray – we can extend our abilities to start sensing whatever we like.”
