First real cyborg that learns, operated by rat brain.

Source



A robot controlled by a blob of rat brain cells could provide insights into diseases such as Alzheimer's, University of Reading scientists say.

The project marries 300,000 rat neurons to a robot that navigates via sonar.

The neurons are now being taught to steer the robot around obstacles and avoid the walls of the small pen in which it is kept.

By studying what happens to the neurons as they learn, its creators hope to reveal how memories are laid down...<more>

Wow. Very interesting. That can lead to much more than they dared express! It helps prove the theory that aliens made our human bodies via hominoids, as I truly believe! They will never find the missing link because animals can never evolve to higher creatures!

Thanks

Good, maybe they can create a president and congress that will act in our best interest instead of their own.

No, that would be using the brain for energy.

It's more like the Borg.

This is old hat.
Five years ago a cultured rat brain was taught to navigate a fighter air craft.
