An injection of nano particles into the eyes of mice temporarily gave them the ability to see near infrared light (NIR) as green; the effects lasted about two weeks. This is very similar to night vision goggles without any hardware. Both rods and cones are affected so in theory the injection would be viable for humans.

    I can't remember the details because it was back in the 90s. But Art had a guest on Coast to Coast, some old rocker guy, who said he has been experimenting seeing through the rods in the side of his vision. The problem is that when you do that you see into the Grey's dimension and they don't like you being there. If you focus on them hard enough they will come at you and serious complications can occur. This sounds like a dangerous violation of the NAP and will probably cause an extra dimensional war.

      Been trying to track down the episode for a few years now, I heard it one night during the "somewhere in time" block while working late. Was a pretty amusing episode.
