Telepathic Rats & Dragons

One of the premises for the Dragon & Myth series is that an organic brain could be linked up with a computer system. Pure Sci Fi fantasy or reality?

When I first wrote Dragon's Mind, I assumed it was all make-believe, a product of my daydreaming mind. But just today, I read an article about telepathic rats. Their brains connected to a computer by electrodes, the rats are able to communicate with each other, even across vast distances! 

From the article: "...the experiments could lead to the creation of a biological computer -- or "brain-net" -- linking multiple brains. In theory, you could imagine that a combination of brains could provide solutions that individual brains cannot achieve by themselves."
