Ratty Surfers?

An interesting study has been reported involving a rat in the USA and a rat in Brazil, both housed in Skinner boxes where they have to learn to press a lever to get the reward of water, have had their electrode-implanted brains connected by the internet (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2013/feb/28/brains-rats-connected-share-information?INTCMP=SRCH). It has apparently been possible to see evidence that one rat has modified its behaviour to help its long-distance chum also obtain water. I suppose it's only a matter of time until all teaching will be done this way!
