...Previous research from Washington University in St. Louis has demonstrated (chứng minh, giải thích) both the ability to control (khả năng điều khiển) the locusts (châu chấu) and the ability to read their brains (đọc não), so to speak, to discern (phân biệt) what it is they are smelling.

...In a pre-proof published online Aug. 6 in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics: X, researchers showed how they were able to hijack a locust's olfactory system (hệ khứu giác) to both detect and discriminate (phân biệt) between different explosive scents (mùi chất nổ)—all within a few hundred milliseconds of exposure.

They were also able to optimize (tối ưu) a previously developed biorobotic sensing system that could detect the locusts' firing neurons and convey that information in a way that told researchers about the smells the locusts were sensing.
