Ethics aside, this is pretty interesting stuff.

Those are some fucking adorable cats.

It isn't like they are doing anything terrible to the cats. They aren't harming them in anyway. But yes this is very interesting stuff.
I wonder if there is any similarities to the way the human brain develops during early life.

[Bradmastah]

That's actually pretty damn cool

[superdinoman]

Wow thats pretty crazy stuff.

[DoctorSalt]

I'd imagine some people would start comparing it to that poor Genie girl though.

[Zags]

I'd guess that there probably aren't any real similarities.

this was quite interesting to watch and can explain a felines visual patterns and memories and how it effects the brain. i learned quite alot today.

I remember studying this in biology, it's pretty cool, and happens to humans as well. There is a famous example of an american tribesman who grew up in the forest, and had no sense of depth perseption over 100 metres or so, as that was as much as his vision was limited to. When a european man took him onto the plains he didn't believe that the buffalo in the distance were buffalo, he thought they were insects.
