Rat Brain Flies Jet!

These scientists are a little bit more progressive than mosts.

They grew a brain from rat neurons over a lattice so they can connect outside input and controls for the brain to control.

Soon you can be replaced with a Custom Made Brain!
 
Where can I find more details, from a more reputable source?

This stuf is creepy and cool at the same time. Very eXistence, Rifts, I dunno. What's the original source for Bio-cybernetics? Who came up with the idea first?

Ah geezz,for a minute I though Bush put his flight suit back on so he could land on another carrier and proclaim "Mission Accomplished"

😛 hahahaha
 
I read a few more articles on this, including Discovery.com. I guess this is legit. They talked about other similar experiments where petrie brains actually drew recognizable drawings (resembling "a child's scribbles") with a robotic arm

Am I the only one who is a little wigged out by this? Drawing pictures?

This simultaneously raises questions regarding the ethics of creating these brains casually in the lab, as well as futher questions regarding the sentience of lab animals.

I'm not sure what I'm saying, or what I think of this. Gotta walk this one off. Hope the weather's nice.

Imagine what would be going through the minds of the first scientists to see a brain scrawl out "help me" or "you will all die for your crimes against nature".

that makes no sense to me. a petrie dish is a piece of glass, it isn't organic.

You put a nutrient agar in it just like when you farm bacteria, fungi, spores whatever.

Hehe, he was funny. I thought the same thing, sounds like an Onion article title! 😀

Your right,nothing funny at all about Bush and his chest pounding proclamation and the WH supplied sign in the background. Pathetic really.....

hahahah, scary. i wonder how the brain knows it's able to draw though, and with no prior knowledge, how does it know to draw ANYTHING tangible? i don't think a scriblle line constitues a child's drawing

According to the article, they were able to repeatedly "show" an object to the brian, and the brain would use a robotic arm to draw a recognizable, though crude, representation. It didn't specify which animal's brain it used, how it "showed" it to the brain, nor how it "trained" the brain to draw it (possibly operant conditioning using dopamine?). It was a website article, not an academic journal. But the experiment was apparantly successful enough to inspire this aeroplane one.
 
This is exactly the kind of stuff that makes the Bushies and Religicons get their panties in a bunch, and the kind of stuff that makes me not mind as much the fact that I am stuck on this rock.....

Simple:

They proxied the experimental brain with my brain

They proxied 'showing it the pictures' with handing me a girlie magazine

I'm still not sure how they taught to draw as well as a young child though, that's always been beyond me.
