Rat brains linked to create "biological computer"
Two rats, in two different countries, wirelessly connected via electrical implants in their brains. The rat on the left is called the encoder. It knows that when it depresses a lever it will receive a reward. What it doesn't know is that the electrical signals generated in its brain are being transmitted wirelessly in real time to the brain of the rat on the right, the decoder, who responds as though the brain signal was its own.
