    "Brain in a dish" flies a flight simulator

     
    http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/11/02/b...ish/index.html

    creepy.

    "It's essentially a dish with 60 electrodes arranged in a dish at the bottom," explained DeMarse, who designed the study.

    "Over that we put the living cortical neurons from rats, which rapidly begin to reconnect themselves, forming a living neural network -- a brain."
    Gradually the brain learnt to control the flight of the plane based on the information it received about flight conditions.

    Hmmm... wonder if this thing is self aware....

    maybe it's trying to communicate to the scientists...

    Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress, but just terrible things.
