Robots with human vision on the horizon after scientists crack brain's 'Enigma code'

Scientists have cracked the brain’s ‘Enigma code’ which could pave the way to create robots capable of human vision. The code, compared to the secret Nazi encryption machines in the Second World War , details exactly what the two regions of the brain communicate when processing visual images.

Researchers hope the new discovery could lead to creating bots with the potential for human-like vision.Until now, scientists have only been able to tell whether two parts of the brain communicate, not what they are saying. The new discovery has been compared to the Enigma code, which was thought impossible until a team of scientists led by Alan Turing deciphered it. READ MORE
