I would think anyone doing brain research on dogs should be advised of this. The overall processing in a dogs brain would be the first thing you want to study. Building devices to mimic what a dog does is the second step. I'm not into dogs myself, but they do have some amazing abilities. Something like 70% of the dog's brain is devoted to it's nose. That should tell them something about the difficulty of the task :-) Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
