Linking the human brain to a computer is usually only seen in science fiction, but now an international team of engineers and neuroscientists at the University of Sheffield (UK), St Petersburg State University (Russia) and Technische Universität Dresden (Germany) have harnessed the power of 3-D printing to bring the technology one step closer to reality.

From the article:
Palaeontologists from St Petersburg University have been the first to study in detail the structure of the brain and blood vessels in the skull of the ankylosaur Bissektipelta archibaldi, an herbivorous dinosaur somewhat similar in appearance to a modern armadillo. Scientists produced the first three-dimensional computer reconstruction of a dinosaur endocast made in Russia,a digital cast of its braincase. It made it possible to determine that ankylosaurs, and Bissektipelta in particular, were capable of cooling their brains, had an extremely developed sense of smell, and heard low-frequency sounds. However, their brains were one and a half times smaller than that of modern animals of the same size.
