*(Financial Times)* -- Rats have collaborated telepathically across
continents in the first use of neurotechnology to transmit thoughts
directly between animals' brains.

Scientists trained rats in Durham, North Carolina and Natal, Brazil to work
together to solve problems in return for a drink of water. In the first
experiment they had to press the correct lever corresponding to a
particular indicator light; in the second they had to distinguish between
wide and narrow openings.

Electrodes picked up the brain activity of the first rat, the "encoder",
and fed it over the internet into the brain of its partner, the "decoder",
which had the same levers in its cage but received no visual cues about
which one to press. The best decoder rats correctly mimicked their
corresponding encoder partners 70 per cent of the time.
