Researchers at the University of Reading in the UK hope to gain insight into human brain function by studying a robot, which can be controlled solely by a "rat brain." A network of some 300,000 disembodied rat neurons, which continuously communicate with each other by creating and breaking bonds, send out electrical signals to one another, just as if they were still inside a living organism. These signals, which are captured through 80 electrodes at the base of the neurons container, comprise spontaneous electrical patterns which are used to control a robot.
