THOUGHT INFLUENCE. "A brain-to-brain interface (BTBI) enabled a real-time transfer of behaviorally meaningful sensorimotor information between the brains of two rats. The decoder rat learned to make similar behavioral selections, guided solely by the information provided by the encoder rat's brain." http://www.nature.com/articles/srep01319 View in LinkedIn

TURNING POINT. "Today, researchers at Duke University announced...wiring animal brains together so they could collaborate on simple tasks. Network monkeys displayed motor skills, and networked rats performed computations. That’s right. They made a botnet out of brains." https://lnkd.in/dcJehq8 View in LinkedIn

TRAINING. "Nicolelis argues that even in this simple task, the rats showed some interesting emergent behaviours. Because the encoder always got an extra reward if the decoder chose correctly, it started making movements that were cleaner, smoother and faster than at the beginning. That increased the signal-to-noise ratio in its brain activity and inadvertently provided the decoder with signals that were easier to decipher." http://www.nature.com/news/intercontinental-mind-meld-unites-two-rats-1.12522 View in LinkedIn

DISTANT SENSE SHARING. "Miguel Nicolelis, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, says that this system allows one rat to use the senses of another, incorporating information from its far-away partner into its own representation of the world." https://lnkd.in/dT67VjJ View in LinkedIn
