DeuteriumDude said:Yes, there is a way. Create a gene for a opsin protein sensitive to electromagnetic radiation outside the visible spectrum. Inject the gene into the retina with a viral vector. After a few months, you might perceive entirely new colors. This is totally possible with current technology, ethics are the only thing stopping anyone. Monkeys have already been injected with a gene for an opsin sensitive to light they can't naturally see. Behavioral studies show the monkeys can now distinguish new colors.
It's possible ... who here wants to be first in line? :D
i'll do it. would i still be able to focus infrared or ultraviolet light? or would everything be fuzzy?
