Studying the brains of insects could lead us to exciting breakthroughs in computers, AI and more. According to computational neuroscientist Frances S. Chance insects like dragonflies, which have highly specialized skills and unique brain patterns, can help neuroscientist unlock insights better develop new technologies. “The way that these neurons compute may be different from anything that exists on a computer today,” Chance says. And that’s just the beginning. “So next time you see an insect, consider that these tiny brains can lead to remarkable computers, and think of the potential that they offer us for the future.”
