Mice and humans are physiologically alike, so a similar effect might be expected for people, but the fact that mice are nocturnal and humans diurnal is a serious complicating factor.

But in the process, it has become more difficult for humans to understand.
Systems based on machine learning filter out noise in big data or high resolution models by scanning for patterns that humans would like to find but cannot.

Trower, who's working on Microsoft's own software platform for robotic systems, says this kind of PC bot would serve as a multiapplication communication and work device, but it would have microphones and touch-screens for interacting with humans and the same adaptable and moving form factor as a small robot.
But that security seems to come at the price of easy legibility for humans.

But there is something still in use in the marketplace today that humans used for millennia before money: barter.
