A new study has shed more light on just how alien octopuses are, showcasing unique brain signals scientists don't yet comprehend.
. While the claim seems a bit out of this world, new research into their brains continues to show just how alien the octopus is, even if it doesn’t end up being of extraterrestrial origins. According to a new study published inThe study was made possible thanks to a new technique discovered by the researchers behind the study. This new technique allowed the researchers to record up to 12 hours of brain activity.
Because octopuses don’t have skulls, their brains are wrapped in a fragile capsule of cartilage. This capsule makes it very difficult to install electrode implants like those needed to capture brain activity. And, because octopuses can easily remove things from their body with their long arms, it wasn’t possible to connect them to its body, either. So how exactly do you record an octopus’s brain?
