Making the human body test its limits is no new concept. Mankind has always been interested in pushing itself to extremes. The number of science projects that do research on enhancing human performance have been many and varied.

Some sought to test the physical ability of the human body while other research was centered on the mental faculties we possess. It is in no small measure that these scientific studies have contributed to our overall understanding of the feats and deeds that the human body is capable of completing.

Then comes the push to do better. If a record for a physical ability exists the next guys wants to break it. Swimming, running, and other sports are good examples of this, but what about mental abilities? Can they be trained to do better like the physical body can be trained? Apparently so.

Till then such a human performance enhancing system remains the constant subject of research in science projects the world over.
