Guest saintjohn Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Oct. 22, 2004 — A University of Florida scientist has created a living "brain" of cultured rat cells that now controls an F-22 fighter jet flight simulator. (edit)For the recent project, Thomas DeMarse, a University of Florida professor of biomedical engineering, placed an electrode grid at the bottom of a glass dish and then covered the grid with rat neurons. The cells initially resembled individual grains of sand in liquid, but they soon extended microscopic lines toward each other, gradually forming a neural network — a brain — that DeMarse says is a "living computational device." The brain then communicates with the flight simulator through a desktop computer. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20041018/brain.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
