Electronic Linking Of Rat Brains Allowing Sharing Of Motor and Sensory Information

Brain-To-Brain Interface Allows Transmission Of Tactile and Motor Information Between Rats.  Science Daily.  February 28, 2013.

In this fascinating experiment, one rat learned a motor activity for a reward.  The brain activity activity that coded the behavior was transmitted via the brain-to-brain interface to another rat who performed the act for a reward.  The brain-to-brain communication was two-way resulting in behavioral collaboration.   The researchers suggest a future project of linking multiple brains to form what they called an "organic computer."
