What if you could see infrared, hear ultrasound, or feel magnetic fields? Biohacking—the use of science and tech to enhance the human body—may one day give us superhuman senses.

Today’s biohackers are already experimenting with implanted magnets, night vision eye drops, and wearable tech that extends hearing or improves smell. More advanced projects aim to integrate sensors directly into the nervous system—turning the body into a platform for modular upgrades.

For example, some individuals use implanted chips to interact with smart devices. Others use sensory substitution—like vibrating wristbands that help the blind “feel” obstacles.

In the future, neuro-enhancement may allow people to choose new senses like apps. Want to sense Wi-Fi? Detect radiation? Feel time passing? It might be possible through brain-machine interfaces or genetic tweaks.

But with power comes risk. DIY surgeries, untested devices, and long-term safety are serious issues. Also, enhanced senses could create a new class divide—those who can afford upgrades and those who can’t.

Still, biohacking challenges the limits of biology and opens new frontiers in perception. In the coming decades, human experience may expand beyond the five senses we’ve always known.
