BRAINS WORK
BETTER than computers. They’re faster, more creative, and (almost) always make
sweeter party playlists. But if for some reason you really wanted a computer
that could out-think a brain, maybe you could build one…from…brains. Multiple
brains. Today, researchers at Duke University announced they have done nearly
that, wiring animal brains together so they could collaborate on simple tasks.
Network monkeys displayed motor skills, and networked rats performed
computations.
Monkey Brains
An aerial drone fitted with a
waterproof camera could be used by fisherman to position their bait and catch
more fish.
Instead of the traditional method
of casting off from a river bank or sea shore and hoping for the best, the
specially-adapted drone allows anglers to fly their line, bait and weight to a
prime deep-water spot.
