Here's the question. What happens if you raise the fish in this environment from birth -- does it learn to behave differently than a fish in their usual environments? Suppose we used a rat instead of a fish, since a fish can't see much outside the bowl?
How do rats raised inside those clear hamster-balls differ from regular rats?
- Cultural Neuron Cultures
BrainWaves is a musical performance by cultured cortical cells interfacing with multielectrode arrays. Eight electrodes recorded neural patterns that were filtered to eight speakers after being sonified by robotic and human interpretation. Sound patterns...

- Why Is Learning Slow?
Richard Gregory: "Why is learning slow? Is it set by physiological (hardware) limitations, or is it due to cognitive (software) strategy? As learning can be single-trial, in dangerous situations, the general slowness may well be a cognitive strategy -...
