Spinal cord injury/no feeling/erection

This is pretty awesome.

If you have not read 'The Brain That Changes Itself' Norman Doige (2007) then it is worth a read.

Here is one of the things that the book talks about " Bachy-y-Rita continued to invent sensory substitution devices ....he even has a project for a condom that he hopes will allow spinal cord injury victims who have no feeling in their penisis to have orgasms. It is based on the premise that sexual excitement, like other sensory experiences, is "in the brain" so the sensations of sexual movement, picked up by sensors on the condom, can be translated to electrical impulses that can then be transmitted to the part of the brain that processes sexual excitement.

This is pretty far our stuff and may seem far fetched. But after reading this book it certainly seems within our grasp.
