Magnetic implant

[2] Magnetic implants can also be used as an interface for portable devices to create other new "senses", for example converting other sensory inputs such as ultrasonic or infra-red into a touch sensation.

This means that people with magnetic implants have sensations of running electric motors, electronic circuits, appliances, and even wires.

Size is important in this consideration, as too large of a magnet obstructs blood vessels and is likely to reject, or push out of the skin.

Popular magnet coatings include implant grade silicone, parylene, titanium nitride, gold and rhodium.

Magnet implantation was first theorized in the mid 1990s by Steve Haworth and Jesse Jarrel, both body modification experts.

[citation needed] Infection has also been cited as a source of failure within RFID and related microchip implanted individuals.
