Florida startup Canaery wants to merge canines with neurotechnology to allow them to detect everything from bombs and other contraband to human diseases and environmental toxins.

The company is building what it calls a nosecomputer interface to decode odors that an animal smells in real time.

The array collects neural signals and sends them to a small, wireless computer unit that decodes them.

Canaery's array is thinner than a piece of tissue paper and a quarter the size of a US postage stamp.

The nosecomputer interface could be used to sniff out people entering schools, stadiums, shopping malls, or amusement parks.

In rats, the array can be inserted into the nose via a minimally invasive procedure.
