In the small #brain of the fruit flies we can observe a specific group of #neurons called dopaminergic neurons that regulates several vital behaviors of the fruit fly: learning and memory, courtship, aggression, locomotion and sleep-wakefullness.

Brain-to-brain (B2B) communication system overview.
Communication between the #BCI and #CBI components is mediated by the #internet.
Ruffini et al., PLoS ONE (2014).
A #bidirectional brain-computer interface (BBCI) can both record signals from the #brain and send information back to the brain through stimulation. Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE).
One of the most thrilling #technologies developed by the @DARPA is a system that allows the #military to pilot multiple jets and drones with their #mind. โ๏ธ๐ง
