Rats With Linked Brains Work Together
Scientists have engineered something close to a mind meld in
a pair of lab rats, linking the animals' brains electronically so that they
could work together to solve a puzzle. And this brain-to-brain connection
stayed strong even when the rats were 2,000 miles apart.
The experiments were undertaken by Duke neurobiologist
Miguel Nicolelis, who is best known for his work in making mind-controlledprosthetics.
Android Beats iPhone in Customer Satisfaction
The iPhone 5 is still quite popular worldwide, but when it
comes to user satisfaction, it's not quite the king of the hill.
On Device Research has released a recent study on the
popularity of smartphones in both the United States and the United Kingdom,
polling 92,825 U.S. and 52,140 U.K. mobile users.
The Motorola Atrix HD leads the charge in smartphone
satisfaction in the United States, earning 8.57 (on a scale of 10). Three other
Android devices follow it: the Motorola Droid Razr M (8.5), the HTC Rezound 4G
(8.32) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (8.26). Apple's iPhone 5 sits at fifth
place, with a ranking of 8.23. That's hardly a bad number, and all the scores
are quite close, but the results show how far Android devices have come in
popularity.
