Thomas Dawson, a research scientist working for Sony, has been granted a patent for a technique that uses ultrasonic pulses aimed at tiny individual areas of the brain to create sensory experiences, including tastes, smells, sights and sounds. Sony says that Dawson has not yet conducted experiments with the technological innovation.

The new technique could be used by Sony, the makers of the Playstation video game console, to create more realistic and immersive games, and could also be used by medical researchers to help the disabled by creating devices to let the blind see or the deaf to hear.
