Grown brain flies F-22 jet

@ 2004/12/07

It sounds like science fiction: a brain nurtured in a Petri dish learns to pilot a fighter plane as scientists develop a new breed of "living" computer. But in groundbreaking experiments in a Florida laboratory that is exactly what is happening.

The "brain", grown from 25,000 neural cells extracted from a single rat embryo, has been taught to fly an F-22 jet simulator by scientists at the University of Florida.

I think that's more complicated than controlling a F-22

.

But I find it quite cool that they can teach brains to control a plane
