Researchers at Cornell University have developed a method to control the flight maneuvers of insects by implanting electrodes into their muscles. Signals, which are being sent to certain areas of the flight muscles, cause the bug to respond accordingly by selectively flapping one of its wings, for example. Increasing the frequency of the pulse makes the insect's wings beat faster, while signals that are sent only to one side of its flight muscles while in flight direct its movement in that direction.
