Imoutgoodbye Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Great...that thing does look a little like Mali...except it looks like it can hold on longer than 8 seconds while making people scream and yell.

Imoutgoodbye Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I still think it would be better to use a study on the physiology of the minds of these "trained" animals to put teeny tiny little sensors in their teeny tiny little brains to see WHAT they're actually smelling...detect which portion of the brain is stimulated and to what extent. Although, like the article says, not a new idea and not nearly fully developed for practical use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mali Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 put teeny tiny little sensors in their teeny tiny little brains I did this to Foxx and all we got out of the experiment were directions for making aunt jemima's pancake mix and a half baked guide to playing blademasters.
