Scientists Link Animals’ Brains To Form Smarter Networks
- 9 years ago
Researchers have released two studies--one of focusing on monkeys and the other on rats--where multiple animals’ brains were connected and able to perform tasks better together than an individual brain could.
Networked computers allow for greater processing power, and now researchers have found that the same could be true for networked brains.
Two studies--one done with monkeys and the other with rats--were recently published about the effects of connecting multiple brains together, and both groups showed cumulative abilities that exceeded that of a single brain.
In one experiment, two monkeys whose brains had been wired with electrodes had to figure out how to jointly move an arm to a ball on a screen to earn their r
