Electronic Brain Link Lets Rats Send Each Other Thoughts

[deadpoolhulk]

Simply put:

"You wouldn't be concerned about a neural uplink unless you had something to hide, Mr. Johnson."

no. i'm concerned about such a thing because why should i trust the people who build the tech, put it in my brain, and run it? think about the Internet, and how occasionally things go wrong. do you want that to be your brain?

but i agree, rats don't mean humans. this is so far from the point of humans it isn't worth worrying about.

feel bad for the rats though. its a little sick to do that to living things.

I'm just going to take a wild guess here:
One is a genius; the other's insane.

Absolutely brilliant.

Hey nice picture of a clapping rat you have there >_<

Sounds cool, but which part of the brain are they sending the signals from/into? I need to know whether I should grab my tinfoil hat now, or if the link just allows a share in ideas.

We sure this place isn't called NIMH or something?

"[It] takes about 45 days of training an hour a day [to get the experiment to work]," said Professor Miguel Nicolelis, who led the team behind the brain-cable. "There is a moment in time when... it clicks. Suddenly the [decoder] animal realizes: 'Oops! The solution is in my head. It's coming to me' and he gets it right."

No one finds this part a little sketchy?
