I love science...
Amazing Robot Controlled By Rat Brain Continues Progress | Singularity Hub
I can see some really cool stuff happening in the future.
Example being a prosthetic limb that you can not only control with your brain, but also have a sense of touch and feeling through it
Machine That Feels May Usher in 'Jedi' Prosthetics | Mind-Controlled Prosthetics Include Sensation | Sensory Signals & Motor Control, Robotic Prosthetics | LiveScience
Given the rat brain experiment, I think it will also pose some really interesting questions about the morality of these new practices. Like: The brain is out of the animal and the heart isn't beating. So one argument is that it is dead. But yet the brain is functioning enough to control a robot, so maybe it isn't and we need to take special consideration for more complex animals like dogs/monkeys/humans/etc.
