Robot with a rat brain
I’m reporting on science news now – or am I?
Check out the New Scientist Channel on youtube. They upload very short daily videos with something cool from the world of science. Rat brains controlling robots is particularly cool, watch the embedded video.
Why is this so cool? Because neuroscience will soon allow us to do amazing things with our own brains. Transhumanism will be the biggest revolution mankind has ever experienced. A related study involves dismantling a rat-brain cell-by-cell and uploading the functionality and connections of each cell into a computer. The computer can then literally think, learn and experience like a rat. The rat they’re taking apart will be alive but no longer biological.
