Biohacking the eye to see in the infrared

by Ryan Bethencourt

Thought this might interest the group, this is a very cool project that Matthew and a few other of the other biohackers have funded to biohack the eye to see in the infrared! > *From:* peyton rowlands <peyton.rowlands(a)scienceforthemasses.org> > *Date:* April 1, 2014 at 9:03 PM > *To:* Ryan Bethencourt <ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com> > *Subject:* Link Correction > Haha, I apologize.

Based on research by Dr. George Wald, the man who discovered the role of vitamin A in phototransduction, and multiple murine studies performed on mammalian subjects, we hypothesize that this will result in the metabolic pathway normally used by the human body to produce photopsin and rhodopsin in the rods and cones of the human eye instead being coopted to produce porphyropsin, a phototransductive pigment described by Dr. Wald in his whitepaper "The Porphyropsin Visual System" that is sensitive to wavelengths of light far in excess of those humans are normally sensitive to on the NIR portion of the spectrum. >> >> The primary tool we will use to measure a shift in visible wavelengths quantitatively will be an open source electroretinography (ERG) device in combination with a homemade stimulator device that utilizes several LEDs of a known wavelength in the NIR. >>

Sudo has pledged $2k/month. Keep in mind that unlike our current lease, this amount covers all expenses from rent to utilities to general maintenance, etc, which the Omni Collective will be responsible for. Our total monthly expenses are already close to that: $1,704.25 December $1,721.58 January $1,756.53 February $1,710.50 March $1,888.90 April I think the extra expense will be a no-brainer, will pay for itself, and will actually be a far better deal than what we're getting now for our money. :)
