Before this technique, the best method of tracking neuron responses were electrodes, which were limited to showing “impulses only in one or a very few cells at a time,” wrote Dr. David H. Hubel, HMS professor of neurobiology. “The power of [this] method is that you can see a large number of cells at once...

...method is a combination of several previously discovered techniques, including work done by Hubel and Torsten Wiesel, who won a Nobel prize for their work. Their experiments revealed that different neurons in the visual cortex respond to different stimuli...

...food or affect its smell or taste. They are also lightweight, making repetitive chopping less of a strain. The hardness of the blades makes them less flexible, however, so they aren't so hot for cutting that requires maneuverability, such as carving. And there's not yet a reliable method for home sharpening, so the manufacturer might have to put a new edge on for you when it finally dulls...
