Brainoid

Instead of taking the B-1 rat to complete the water maze test less than the A-1 rat, it took about one-third longer. Judging from the final results, the rats in Group B in the experimental group took an average of 27.4% longer to pass the water maze test than Group A, which means that most of them did not obtain parsable information about underwater water from the brain-like bodies. Platform location information.

The reason why "parsable" is particularly emphasized is because Qi Min understood almost immediately that the corpus callosum interface cannot demodulate brain signals, and similarly, the brain of rat B cannot demodulate the brain information of rat A. of demodulation.

Although the basic structure of the brain of the same species should be similar, individual differences in details are still very obvious, and there is also no guarantee that each electrode is inserted into the exact same location on the nerve cells when installing the callosal interface. Therefore, it is only natural that different individual rats cannot parse each other's brain information.

Qi Min couldn't help but pat his head with his wrist (obviously he couldn't use his palms because he was wearing gloves): "This experimental design is simply stupid - the way the brain information is encoded between different individuals cannot be universal at all!"

When she said this, Ke Yue also understood: "So... the same rat should be used? But how to prove..."

"Wait, wait..." Qi Min interrupted him with a wave of her hand. The experimental materials were already in front of her. When she wanted to change the experimental design on the spot, her brain was spinning very fast. "Use the remaining 9 rats to reproduce the three points." groups, three in each group... The rats in the experimental group first did the water maze, were comatose for a long time, and then woke up to do the second water maze, and then did the third water maze with instantaneous connection. The first water maze and the third The position of the underwater platform in the first water maze is the same, but the position of the platform in the second water maze is different. If the guess is correct, then there should be no significant difference between the first and second water maze times, while the third time will be shortened."

Ke Li immediately understood that if the brain-like body extracted the rat's memory and caused coma, then the second water maze test would be equivalent to having no previous memory, so there should be no significant difference from the first time. After returning my memory before the third water maze, I was able to quickly find the location of the underwater platform and quickly pass through the water maze.

There was no different operation from before. Rat No. 1 in the experimental group was tested in the water maze for the first time. Long-term connection caused coma. Rat No. 1 was awakened with ammonia water and did the second water maze test. Then wait ten minutes for an instantaneous connection and then do the third water maze test.

Obviously, in the third water maze test, Rat No. 1 swam directly to the pattern marking the underwater platform.

The experiment was an unexpected success.

Although it was already three o'clock in the morning after completing the blank control group experiment, Qi Min and Ke Li were still in a state of excitement.

They didn't even want to care about those poor rats. After uploading the video recording the experimental results to the network disk, they were as happy as if the article had been published.

After putting the rat back in the animal room, Qi Min suggested having a drink: "Let's go, buddy, let's dance the night away?"

"How do you jump?" Ke Li, who is a die-hard homebody, has no objection to such public places at this time. "I have never been there..."

"There's no need to jump, just go in and drink whatever you want - I'll treat you, I'll treat you whatever you want!" Qi Min said while taking off the mask and headgear, "This thing can actually be made, it's so unreal..."

She and Ke Li walked back to the laboratory talking excitedly, but they caught a glimpse of the mobile phone they had left on the table before going to the animal platform in the morning.

Qi Min suddenly felt something bad. He immediately picked up his phone to unlock the screen and saw eleven missed calls from Anton.

"Those two people have left, we can only go by ourselves -" Ke Yue put on his coat and turned around to see Qi Min calling, "Well, are you still going?"

"Wait a minute..." Qi Min frowned and said quickly after the call was connected, "Sorry, I've been doing experiments -"

Qi Min thought that Anton would blame her for being irresponsible again, but this time he just said calmly: "As long as you're okay."

"I...it's okay." Qi Min whispered.

"I know you're fine." Anton's tone was a little helpless. "At almost twelve o'clock, I asked your colleague - the one we played games with. He went to ask the security guard of your building and said you were still there. Experimenting."

In fact, in China - especially in big cities - the security in urban areas is very good at night, so there is no need to worry so much at this time. However, Anton was just used to the life he once lived near a slum in the United States, where he didn't dare to go out alone after ninety o'clock at night.

"Then... I'll go back right away?" Qi Min said somewhat at a loss.

"Is there a suitable night bus?" Anton asked, "If not, just wait another two or three hours."

The subway and morning buses will leave in two or three hours. It would not be difficult for Qi Min to sleep on the sofa on the first floor of the biology department for a few hours.

She originally thought about going out for a wave, but at this time she suddenly felt sleepy.

"Okay...I'll take a nap at school." Qi Min said, like a child eager to make up for his mistakes, "I'll go back when the train starts..."

She hung up the phone and saw Ke Yue leaning against the wall and yawning.

"How about you go back and rest first." Qi Min said apologetically.

"That's okay... I'm really a little sleepy." Ke Yue didn't look like he was just a little sleepy. "Oh, I'm getting older, and I'm not as good as before."

Qi Min was amused by him and laughed twice. Young people nowadays like to pretend to be old. In fact, sometimes it’s not that you are old, but that you have more responsibilities and more pressure in life, which really makes people feel unbearable.

Ke Yue returned to the temporary dormitory arranged for him in the doctoral dormitory building. Qi Min walked to the lobby on the first floor of the Department of Biology and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the sofa.

——

She did not wake up when the subway started. In fact, what woke Qi Min was the footsteps of the doctoral students who came to the laboratory in the morning.

She opened her eyes and saw the door to the plant physiology laboratory opposite the sofa. At this time, many young people were already coming in from the door one after another, passing by and heading to their respective laboratories.

With so many people here, it must be at least nine o'clock. Qi Min reluctantly propped up his upper body from the soft sofa, took out his mobile phone and saw that it was already nine seventeen.

She dialed Anton's number, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice had become dry and hoarse: "Hey... I just woke up..."

"Are you okay?" Anton asked.

Yesterday he was worried about Qi Min because he was afraid that something would happen to her while walking outside in the middle of the night. Now he was worried that her long working hours would harm her health - being Qi Min's boyfriend is really tiring.

"I seem... to have a cold." Qi Min cleared his throat, clearly feeling the symptoms of tonsillitis. She slept in a bad position on the sofa yesterday, with her head facing the door, which meant she had the air conditioner blowing on her all night.

"Can you still take the subway?" Anton asked worriedly, and then said, "Forget it, I'll pick you up."

"No need, I'm not paralyzed." Qi Min quickly refused.

However, Anton said directly: "Forget it, I will bring you some thick clothes."

Finally, after spending a lot of time in daily life, I wrote that the key experiment was successful, and I am so touched.jpg
