HUMAN TO RAT HARVARD STUDY. "Using six different human subjects and six different rat subjects, the team achieved a success rate of 94 percent, with a time delay of 1.59 ± 1.07 seconds between user intention and the rat's response. This isn't the first time brain-to-brain communication has been successfully achieved with rats. Earlier this year, Miguel Nicolelis at the Duke University Medical Center developed a BBI that allowed rats to transmit their thoughts to each other." https://lnkd.in/df-QbyV View in LinkedIn

BACTERIA-MOUSE INTERFACE. "The influence of the gut microbiota on behaviour also extends to cognitive function and in the novel object recognition test and the T-maze germ-free mice exhibit non-spatial, hippocampal mediated, and working memory deficits." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166432814004768 View in LinkedIn

BACTERIA-HUMAN BEHAVIOR INTERFACE. "We are just beginning to understand the wide influence exerted by the gut microbiota on brain and behaviour. However, it is already apparent that there is substantial overlap between the physiological relevance and behavioural impact of the gut microbiota, tryptophan metabolism and the serotonergic system." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166432814004768 View in LinkedIn

MAZE SMART FUNGUS. "One species in particular, the SpongeBob SquarePants–yellow Physarum polycephalum, can solve mazes, mimic the layout of man-made transportation networks and choose the healthiest food from a diverse menu—and all this without a brain or nervous system.

SLIME MOLDS. "Although P. polycephalum often acts like a colony of cooperative individuals foraging together, it in fact spends most of its life as a single cell containing millions of nuclei, small sacs of DNA, enzymes and proteins. This one cell is a master shape-shifter. P. polycephalum takes on different appearances depending on where and how it is growing." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brainless-slime-molds/ View in LinkedIn

"MICROORGANISMS ALSO CHATTER, and our ability to understand the routes, mechanisms, and purposes of these communications may have profound effects on human health, industry, agriculture, and the environment. Bacteria communicate and coordinate their activities through chemical signals that either diffuse through the extracellular environment or remain cell associated." https://lnkd.in/degbvNw View in LinkedIn
