Paragraph 2
Scientists believe the
from their research will assist in advancing
and neuroscience. Study co-
Dr Andrew Schulz said: "Each whisker on elephants' trunks acts as a tactile
organ." This allows an elephant to pick up something as
as a
chip without breaking it. The research could help increase dexterity in robots. Dr Lena Kaufmann is
about how the research could advance neuroscience. She said her
"contribute to our understanding of the tactile perception of these
animals". She says the study will increase our understanding of "neuronal computation" — how the brain's neurons process
to think, feel, and act.
