Israeli Company Tamar Group Developed Sensor to Read Mouse Reactions
An Israeli security company has trained mice to alert guards when they detect explosives, drugs or other contraband, according to an article from the Daily Mail UK.
Tamar Group, which is owned and run by former Israeli special forces officers, say they believe their product could transform the homeland security market, the article says. The group’s system “takes animals and turns them into biological sensors, using specially-trained laboratory mice and measuring their reactions to outside stimuli,” says Boaz Hayun, CEO of Tamar Group, to theTimes of Israel.
