..

are these rats Urban Astronauts too?Evan?
or david  mismanage..or whatever you're callin ' yourself now.

odd how "in realtime"

my "story" isn't quite as difficult to believe as it was just 5 months ago..

scary too.

cuz my first thought aside from ewww rats

was how sickening it seemed ,how Bruce Dern "The man with 2 heads" ,,it seemed to think of 2 minds linked together ..with no buffer

..man,one day I'd like to tell the real story..

instead of glomming over the Horror show of it all with

"fiction"

don't these guys at Duke know

you have already done this shit with people?

this is like Flowers for Algernon in reverse.

what idiots they'd feel like thinking they were on to something

when you Masters of The Universe

have been there done that

guess mice don't need to be coerced though with endless threats and confounding myths about what's going on

and luckily these rats can't speak

or they'd be labeled schizophrenic huh EVAN

how it must get to you

that

you can't share

you're "breakthroughs"

how rats instead of humans

are introducing Intraneural interface

cuz it's still "the grey zone"legally to juice up people nano

Anders Sandberg, who studies the ethics of neurotechnologies at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, said the work was "very important" in helping to understand how brains encode information.

But the implications of the technology and its potential future uses are far broader, said Sandberg. '."

Very little is known about how thoughts are encoded
(getting a leg up HELPS though (see above)
 and how they might be transmitted into another person's brain

 

 – And much of what is in our minds is what Sandberg calls a "draft" of what we might do. "Often, we don't want to reveal those drafts, that would be embarrassing and confusing. And a lot of those drafts are changed before we act. Most of the time I think we'd be very thankful not to be in someone else's head."

It's not exactly rat telepathy. Let's call it a computer-mediated rat mind-meld.

The study, published Thursday morning in the open-access journal Scientific Reports,
