Unlocking brain mysteries.(Science And Environment)(Brief Article)
Lakshmi Sandhana, "Is That a Pilot in Your Pocket?" Wired, October 23, 2004 (wired.com)
Lakshmi Sandhana draws our attention to a remarkable advance in bio medical engineering: "Somewhere in Florida, 25,000 disembodied rat neurons are thinking about flying an F-22."
Thomas DeMarse of the University of Florida has been working on a project that grows rat neurons on top of a multi-electrode array connected to a desktop computer's flight simulator. When the electrodes are stimulated in reaction to the virtual aircraft's movements, the neurons fire in patterns that are then used to control the aircraft, which acts as the brain's "body." DeMarse told Wired, "It's as if the neurons control the stick in the aircraft." The neurons have learned how to control the aircraft in straight, level flight in conditions ranging from calm skies to hurricane-force winds.
