The field of brain-to-brain interfacing (BBI), which entails the real-time transfer of brain activity between living organisms, has seen a number of advances in recent years. For instance, the feasibility of a computer-mediated brain-to-brain interface was recently demonstrated in a study that linked the central neural functions of a human and a Sprague-Dawley rat. In this rather odd yet revealing experiment, human researchers were able to move the tail of an anesthetized rat…with their minds.
