Researchers at the University of Rochester report some interesting research
on http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=1898.
Excerpts:
In the past, researchers would perhaps shine a light at an unconscious
ferret... “The basic findings are exciting enough, but you can’t help but
speculate on what they might mean in a deeper context,” says Weliky. “It’s
one thing to say a ferret’s understanding of reality is being reproduced
inside his brain, but there’s nothing to say that our understanding of the
world is accurate...."
This research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
