I agree with Ben. This is interesting stuff you're working on. I hope something good will come out of it that we'll all benefit from. If you have some interesting facts from that sort of research that we could use in our everyday lives, do share them!

I hope to go into neuroprosthetics, so this is a nice first step.

That belt we use was actually developed for blind people. I think it's currently stuck in development hell, but if it ever becomes a real product, I can imagine it being really great.

So like, how would I go about getting one of these for myself?

Apparently wearing one regularly is supposed to help improve sense of direction, and I'm pretty chronically lost.

You could build one yourself, they're no marvels of technology ;)
