Lab rats 'acquire sixth sense'

US researchers have effectively given laboratory rats a "sixth sense" using an implant in their brains.

An experimental device allowed the rats to "touch" infrared light - which is normally invisible to them.

cool. wonder how long something like this will take to be given to blind humans? they have tested implants that allow paralysed/locked in patients to move a mouse/keyboard via their brainwaves no?
