Ratty Aftermath
A week after the somewhat controversial but definitely exciting experiment with the remote controlled rats, the dust has settled a bit and people have had time to take a step back. Two articles discuss the consequences of this research. The first is over on Time.com, entitled Send in the Roborats. The author claims that this research is not novel in concept, as select other experiments have managed to do this -- albeit not as well. However, he argues the major benefit of this work is the ability to control the rat at a great distance, using a standard PC interface. The second article is over on US News, entitled Enter the Cyborgs. The key concept there is the marriage between neural tissue and silicon, and that it all might happen sooner than expected. |
