To Thinking http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Thinking and Brain_and_Cognitive_Sciences http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Brain_and_Cognitive_Sciences or Primatology  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Primatology at WUaS ? Planned in all 7,943 entries in Glottolog's languages' listings plus more ...
The past few years have had a great deal of research showing extraordinary cognitive abilities in some birds – especially corvids (crows, ravens, jackdaws, and the like) and parrots, who can solve complex puzzles, understand and synthesize language at the level of simple syntax, and display an understanding of object permanence typically reached by humans around age two.

Up to now, there has been a good deal of argument that these are limited tactical skills, usable only in specific contexts but not in general. However, a new review article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, collecting the results of this wide range of research, seems to show fairly definitively that this is not the case: the same kinds of cognitive abilities show up, over and over in these species, no matter what context they find themselves in. These birds have intelligence comparable to those of some apes.

What's most fascinating about this is that birds' brains are very little like primates'. Most visibly, they have no neocortex at all – that being the large, highly folded section of the brain which we use for most of our complex thinking. Instead, they seem to do their thinking in the pallium, a part of the brain common to almost all vertebrates, but somehow developed differently in these species.

This could well imply that complex intelligence evolved separately in birds and in mammals, not coming from any shared origin. This would suggest that, like vision or locomotion, abstract thought is a powerful general adaptation which may arise in any number of ways.

Among the corvidae, the pressure leading to this has fairly clearly been that of being clever scavengers – not too different from the pressures which likely led to our own development of such tools. This combination of intelligence and opportunism has also made them highly successful in a human-dominated world: the ecosystem we create is full of tasty treats.

Posted about such great tangible and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/pinwheel-flowers-what-is-this-g-for.html .... "Pinwheel flowers: "What is this, a G+ for ants?", 2 steps forward, 1 step back? (an old human thing?), 3 steps forward, 2 steps back?, 4 steps forward, 3 steps back? Could we program or wiki add into G+x, 5 steps forward, and 4 steps back and then also add machine learning the way we want it? ... and develop G+ for 3D virtual worlds, as dancing avatars (5 years out)? :), "Marin Marušić Yesterday 2:55 PM +Linus Torvalds don't you understand ... you're an engineer, you, of all people, should understand ... "Profiles in the new Google+ have been streamlined and simplified"", Do you really mean that avatars might be dancing out of the screen and all over us, the world, holograpically even, speaking all 7,938+ languages from G+, Princess Leia projection, Could these avatars as kinds of "light robots" step out of the screen eventually? In Google searching on "mit floating digital light objects" and "mit floating digital holographic projections," I found the following, Code SQL with VOICE in multiple languages in Wikidata" :)

Implementation of Complex Biological Logic Circuits Using Spatially Distributed Multicellular Consortia

by
Javier Macia , Romilde Manzoni , Núria Conde , Arturo Urrios, Eulàlia de Nadal, Ricard Solé , Francesc Posas 

"Engineered synthetic biological devices have been designed to perform a variety of functions from sensing molecules and bioremediation to energy production and biomedicine. Notwithstanding, a major limitation of in vivo circuit implementation is the constraint associated to the use of standard methodologies for circuit design. Thus, future success of these devices depends on obtaining circuits with scalable complexity and reusable parts. Here we show how to build complex computational devices using multicellular consortia and space as key computational elements. This spatial modular design grants scalability since its general architecture is independent of the circuit’s complexity, minimizes wiring requirements and allows component reusability with minimal genetic engineering. The potential use of this approach is demonstrated by implementation of complex logical functions with up to six inputs, thus demonstrating the scalability and flexibility of this method. The potential implications of our results are outlined."
