Neuroscientists from Northwestern University have successfully developed a way to read the minds of flies. By modifying the flies neurons with that of jelly fish they could see which parts of the brain light up when exposed to different stimulus. By examining the colors that light up they could tell that what sensations the fly was feeling. For example they could tell if the fly was smelling bananas or lavender. It's pretty interesting that scientists have developed ways to read the brain and I'm sure eventually this technology will make its way to bigger domestic animals.
