   Scientists says feline smarts are good model for supercomputers   
      
      
   "Scientists are looking to the brain cells in a cat -- sorry, dog lovers -- to   
   see if they can be mimicked to allow computers to more closely learn and   
   recognize information like humans do."   
      
   "Electronic devices that mimic how brain cells in a cat work could allow   
   computers to one day learn and recognize information more like humans do. Such   
   brain-like devices might accomplish more complex decisions and perform more   
   tasks simultaneously than conventional computers are capable of, researchers   
   added."

   researcher Wei Lu, a computer engineer at the University of Michigan. "
