Artificial Sensory Channels

The article interprets Warwick's defensive reaction to an approaching board as evidence that the artificial signal had been integrated into rapid response pathways. The article describes sensory enhancement as translating external or digital signals into nervous-system signals the brain can learn to interpret. Warwick's ultrasonic experiment converted object distance into pulse frequency delivered through a nerve interface. Consistent artificial sensory inputs may become ordinary background information rather than remaining consciously distracting.
