Technicolor Dreaming
Does this octopus dream in color? Maybe, maybe not
In this excerpt from the PBS series Nature, Heidi the octopus sleeps in her tank and exhibits an amazing range of colors and patterns, from ghostly white to midnight black, which suggests she’s dreaming about a successful hunt. But it she really? Because the brains of humans and octopus are so different, caution scientists quoted in the New York Times, we can’t jump to that conclusion. Still, one can dream. (via Laura H.)
