Sorry, my headline is even more misleading than AVWEB's
Brain In A Bowl Flies Simulator
Someone once said he could teach a monkey to fly but researchers at the University of Florida have taken it a quantum leap further. The biomedical team says it has a dish full of about 25,000 rat neurons that can keep a PC flight simulator on the straight and level. It's as if the neurons control the stick in the aircraft, they can move it back and forth and left and right, Professor Thomas DeMarse told Wired News. Now, the researchers aren't explicitly looking to replace pilots with rat neurons ... at least not yet.
Next will be ATC console operated successfully by a Labrador's brain, and a biscuit manufacturer replaced by the @rseholes of 14 brown snakes...
