I'm going to paste for you now an exerpt from an artcile I got in my inbox this morning:
IMAGINE getting inside the mind of a shark: swimming silently through the ocean, sensing faint electrical fields, homing in on the trace of a scent, and navigating through the featureless depths for hour after hour.
We may soon be able to do just that via electrical probes in the shark's brain. Engineers funded by the US military have created a neural implant designed to enable a shark's brain signals to be manipulated remotely, controlling the animal's movements, and perhaps even decoding what it is feeling.
... HAVE YOU IDIOTS NOT SEEN DEEP BLUE SEA?!?!?!?! I quote:
"We increased their brain size ... as a side effect, they got smarter"
In that movie, the sharks were in a damn cage, these ones will be in the open ocean!! Honestly, I think it is a bad idea. Hey, let's put shit in their heads so we can control them and fuck up their migratory pattern and any territory they might have!
Well done champs, well done!
