magnet finger

body artists jesse jarrell and steve haworth came up with the idea to implant magnets under the skin to hold innovative piercings without success – until they noticed that the implants generated a sense of magnetic and electric fields through the induced motion as interpreted by the finger’s touch receptors. you can feel power lines, spinning hard drives and other electric/magnetic phenomena. is there any limit to the senses we can gain through implants?
