Fantastic! One of my favorite things about living here is how they make it so easy for people with disabilities. I can't wait until my uncle who's blind comes to visit and I get to show off the fact that they have those braille sidewalks to him. It's ideas like this that Japan can take pride in.

That technology is at least three decades old in the US, but in the US, it would be classified. Please look at the link below:

Since the end of the Cold War, I have been exposed to wireless transmitter versions of brain wave manipulations: Quite beyond this article. Dr. Delgado's views on the US Military has a strong following among elite circles, but I disagree w/ it. Makes my skin crawl.

Neither Honda nor Toyota said it had any plans to turn the technology into a product for commercial sale as each said they are still developing the research.

Hard for me to take this seriously after seeing Toyota sack so many temp staff
