Editing Border Collie (section)

==Research==
The impressive intelligence of the Border Collie has made it a viable subject for research. In particular, the [[Georgia Tech|Georgia Institute of Technology's]] FIDO (Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations) project demonstrated the ability of intelligent dogs to communicate with humans. In particular, Professor Melody Jackson, director of the institute's BrainLab, instrumented a Border Collie named Sky to activate a sensor worn by the dog which allowed Sky to communicate in audible English with its handler. One intent was to allow service dogs to warn their owners of impending danger, or to alert others to emergency situations involving their handler, especially those situations which might have resulted in the incapacitation of their handler.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://fido.gatech.edu/ |title=Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations |publisher=Georgia Institute of Technology |access-date=2021-06-27 |archive-date=29 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230129093734/https://fido.gatech.edu/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iaIQktV26M | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/1iaIQktV26M| archive-date=2021-12-11 | url-status=live|title=Georgia Tech's 'FIDO Vest' gives service dogs a voice | date=12 August 2015|publisher=Fox5 Atlanta News via Giancarlo Valentin on YouTube|access-date=2021-06-27}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/technolog/fido-gets-even-techier-tools-6C10760884 |title="Fido gets even techier tools" by Nidhi Subbaraman, July 31, 2013|date=31 July 2013 |publisher=NBC Tech News|access-date=2021-06-27}}</ref>
