Two Rats Communicate Brain to Brain  Scientists have wired
together the brains of two rats, allowing them transmit
information between each other and cooperate. Katie Zhuang,
Laboratory of Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, Duke University  It's not
quite telepathy, but it's the closest anyone has ever come to
getting a mammal to read another mammal's mind.  A research team
led by neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis of Duke University has
wired together the brains of two rats, allowing them transmit
information between each other and cooperate.  The results,
detailed in the journal Scientific Reports, could help improve
the design of neural-controlled prosthetic devices. And perhaps
more than that, they also show that one day we could network
brains as well as computers, or communicate by translating
neural activity in the brain into electronic signals.  NEWS:

levers when a particular light switched o
