Interesting article! Thanks for writing. But I am suspicious of claims about increasing IQ because, if it was possible, surely someone would have done a proof-of-concept with animals.
It's difficult to do such experiments with humans because (1) ethical issues; (2) humans take 9 months to be born (long gestation period); and (3) a few years for them to mature enough to get any objective results. I imagine the effort to increase IQ would be iterative. That needs a quick feedback loop which is not possible with humans.
There must be some animal with (1) no ethical issues like mice or chicken; (2) a somewhat similar brain structure to humans; (3) short gestation period;... (read more)
