Robot Controlled By Human Brain Cells
destinyland writes "There's a new experiment from the British researchers who created a robot controlled by cultured rat neurons. They're now using a line of human brain neurons to control robots. The neurons are placed onto a multi-electrode dish that registers the neurons' electric signals. 'Every time the robot nears an object, the electrodes generate signals to stimulate the brain. In response, the brain's output is used to drive the wheels of the robot left and right so that it avoids hitting objects. The robot has no additional control from a human or a computer — its sole means of control is from its own brain.'"
... welcome out new object-avoiding human-brain-controlled robotic overlords.
If they can manage to avoid avoiding things for long enough to usurp control from those who can recognise the seat of power... And sit in it.
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/
