Mice in the United States and Brazil 'communicate' over the Internet

Scientists at the Duke University Medical Center in the United States have established direct communication between the rats' brains in the same laboratory and can even link this communication over the Internet between two mice. thousands of miles away.

In the direction of creating an artificial communication channel between the animal brain, neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis and his colleagues implanted electrodes in the tactile information processing in the rat brain and connected the electrode to the brain. Infrared light sensors, so the mouse can 'touch' the infrared light.

The researchers then fed two mice to a room and implanted a microelectrode array of about 1/100 of their hair into their motor cortex. A 'crypto receiver ' receives a visual signal and another 'decrypted' does not receive the signal.

Wired line between two mice allows the 'decrypt' mouse to receive input from the mouse 'enter the password' with a success rate of up to 70%.
