If you could control the brain of a rat with your thoughts, what would you tell it to do? Perhaps you'd to tell it to go away. Or, if you were feeling mischievous, maybe you'd encourage it to creep into a sibling's bed or scurry across the floor of a crowded room. For proof-of-concept, scientists kept it simple. They asked human volunteers to move a rat's tail simply by thinking about it—a feat they actually accomplished, with the aid of brain-to-brain interface technologies that transmitted electrical signals from the human to the rat brain.
The experiment, which was reported recently in the journal PLoS ONE, was based on computer-to-brain interfacing with electroencephalography (EEG) in humans and focused brain ultrasound in rats. The humans conveyed their intention of moving the rats' tails by watching a computer display of a flickering strobe light. EEG captured the electrical activity associated with their thought processes while watching the strobe. When EEG signals became synchronized with signals from the visual stimuli, a spike in signal amplitude occurred, which was detected by the computer and subsequently relayed to the ultrasound electronics, triggering a burst of focused ultrasound to the rat brain. The burst, focused onto a specific area of the motor cortex in the brain of the anesthetized rat, ultimately produced a flick of the tail. (See a video of the experiment here.)
The ability to control the thoughts of others is of special interest in the study of cognitive processes, and it could find applications in neurotherapy or even as a novel mode of communication in "brain-to-brain coupling." The practicality of these applications, however, remains to be explored.
In the meantime, in highlighting the fine line between fiction and reality, the new study gives us plenty to think about. Indeed, Ratatouille could become more human-like than he ever imagined.

What is the main point of this article?

Answer:

That we can control the cognitive thoughts of others in certain circumstances and that ratouille might be more human-like than we thought.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities
In the 1800s, the Uniodd States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of
society following the introduction of machines.

The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments
caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production.

Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The
abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in
northern factories as a way to support their families.

Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today,
the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization,
In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S.
residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with
more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and
New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so
quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural
areas.

Which sentence from the introduction paragraph serves as the author's thesis?

O In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity.
O The Industrial Revolution began in Britain, a fast development of society following the Introduction of machines,

Read this excerpt from "Water Never Hurt a Man" by Walter D. Edmonds. "I guess I left it a while back. I guess it was in that kind of scrummage we had. I guess it needs a heavier whip anyhow. I guess a man couldn't spare the time going back for it." "Sure," said George. He reached down and took it from its peg, recoiled it, and tossed it ashore. The boat went ahead, slowly, with a sound of water, and of rain falling, and of wind. Which statement best describes the interaction between the characters in this excerpt?

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, and then answer the question. Those who failed to get past both doctors had to undergo a more thorough medical exam. The others moved on to the registration clerk, who questioned them with the aid of an interpreter: What is your name? Your nationality? Your occupation? Can you read and write? Have you ever been in prison? How much money do you have with you? Where are you going? Some immigrants were so flustered that they could not answer. They were allowed to sit and rest and try again. What best paraphrases the central idea of the excerpt? What is your name? What is your job? are examples of questions the immigrants answered. Medical exams were frightening to the newcomers, so they had to sit down. If they had ever been in a prison, the immigrants were not allowed to stay in America. Immigrants were asked many questions before being allowed into the United States.
