Resumen de Brains wired up to work together
For the first time animal brains have been linked to form a living computer. If human brains could be similarly connected, it might give people superhuman problem-solving abilities and allow people to send abstract thoughts to each other. Miguel Nicolelis at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, and his colleagues wanted to extend the idea by incorporating multiple brains at once. They placed electrodes in the brains of three monkeys, targeting brain areas involved in movement, then connected them to a computer that controlled an animated screen image of a robotic arm.
