Rat Brain Trained to Fly Jet (Army of Ninja Assassins Soon to Follow…)

How buy generic erythromycin cost oral drunk a person feels primarily depends on the total alcohol cheap betnovate on internet intake, regardless of beverage mixing. A doctor may use other ampicillin without prescription antibiotic treatments, such as beta-lactam antibiotics, or other antimicrobial drugs order cheap flovent to treat the infection. Secondary infertility refers to a couple griseofulvin sale who cannot conceive or carry to term after having at nexium for sale least one successful birth in the past. A colposcopy is order (metacam) on internet a minimally invasive procedure doctors typically carry out in their viagra for order office or clinic. An individual may need long-term care due generic xalatan to a variety of circumstances, such as a chronic illness, atarax prescription accident, or advanced aging. However, if a person notices any buy cheap betnovate without prescription unusual texture, such as vomiting a substance similar to coffee order cheap cialis online grounds, they should contact a doctor. A meta-analysis uses a statistical.

Yeah, we know that title is a total mind-fiduck, but such is life.AA And yes, we mean the brain; no body, just the brain.

Scientists from the University of Florida first grew a "brain" from 25,000 neural cells extracted from a rat embryo, and if growing brains wasn’t enough, they then proceeded to teach it how to play elaborate videogames.AA The Brain first struggled in the cockpit of a simulated F-22 jet (was The Brain aware that it was only a simulation, and if not, was this ethical treatment of The Brain?), but rapidly learned to keep the plane’s trajectory on point, even in hurricane-force wind.
Here’s a quote from Dr. Thomas DeMarsh, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at University of Florida and, more notably, the evil genius who actually had the cojones to begin training the army of rats that will soon rule the empire of the united states… ahem… well then, let’s get on with the quote, shall we:

"When we first hooked them up, the plane ‘crashed’ all the time…but over time, the neural network slowly adapts as the brain learns to control the pitch and roll of the aircraft. After a while, it produces a nice straight and level trajectory."

Scientists hope that their research will lead to the integration of organic components into machines and vice-versa. Well, I could go either way on that one, but let’s save that for another post, mmmkay?
