The best decoder rats correctly mimicked their corresponding encoder partners 70 per cent of the time.
The majority of the time, the decoder rat performed the same action as the encoder.
The encoder rat's brain signals then became clearer, giving the decoder a greater chance of interpreting the message correctly, Prof Nicolelis noted.
Other software shipped with the board includes the Matrox Software DVD player, Ulead Photo Explorer 6.0, Windows Media Encoder, and a teletext browser.
There was also a feedback system, denying the encoder rat an extra reward if the decoder rat did not press the correct lever.
In order to receive the reward, the decoder rat would have to rely on the cue transmitted from the encoder via the brain-to-brain interface.
An upcoming one-way pager will be a relatively simple addition, as opposed to a planned MP3 and digital music encoder and decoder from Innogear.
It adds the digital display capabilities, the TV output encoder, a second RAMDAC, and a DDR memory interface to the features found in the G400 chip generation.
The team members then conducted trials to determine how well the decoder animal could decipher the brain input from the encoder rat to choose the correct lever.
In Prof Nicolelis' first experiment, the encoder rat got a bigger reward if the decoder also made the right choice, leading to two-way neural collaboration between the two rats.
In the second experiment, a scan of the decoder's brain showed that it began to represent the encoder's whiskers as well as its own whiskers in the tactile cortex.
Researchers also found that rewarding the encoder alongside the decoder created a virtuous loop, as treating the first rat for a job well done focused its attention and improved the signal strength.
"We saw that when the decoder rat committed an error, the encoder basically changed both its brain function and behaviour to make it easier for its partner to get it right, " he said.
Respected authoring houses and mixing facilities worldwide have recently upgraded to Dolby TrueHD with advanced 96k upsampling within the Dolby Media Producer Encoder v2 to provide customers with the highest-quality audio experience available on Blu-ray.
We're not sure that Vulcans would endorse this kind of mind meld, though: apart from immediately depriving the decoder rat of self-control, prolonged testing led to the same rodent developing additional sympathetic reactions to the encoder.
In the separate decision involving Microsoft, the court said that the software company was liable for patent infringement by installing a digital speech encoder on versions of its Windows operating system that are copied and sold overseas.
While Windows Media Encoder simply refuses to accept certain input files and Window Media Encoder Studio Edition Beta tends to crash outright when given the same files, it was Movie Maker that mistakenly told the real story.
Electrodes picked up the brain activity of the first rat, the "encoder", and fed it over the internet into the brain of its partner, the "decoder", which had the same levers in its cage but received no visual cues about which one to press.
Studio staff and others interested in learning more about Dolby TrueHD with advanced 96k upsampling can read the following PDF white papers: Dolby TrueHD Encoder with Advanced 96k Upsampling and Elevating the Performance of Lossless Audio in the Home Theater: Dolby TrueHD with Advanced 96k Upsampling.
Electrodes attached to the brain of a host "encoder" rat in Brazil processed the motor-oriented mental activity for a desired behavior, such as pressing a lever on cue, and converted it into a signal that was then received by a "decoder" rat as far away as Duke's US campus.
