RE: Bats’ brains predict their next move during flight - MIT Technology Review

The underlying notion for the research is promising. I'm just wondering how such data will be applied in the real world to help humans with cognitive disorders. The article is educative overall; also agree with the idea that the bats evolved with such abilities for survival purposes.

My guess is that they're still pretty far away from any human benefit, but they wanted to make some tenuous/speculative link so they could justify the money. I agree that it was an informative article, though.
