    Scientists create a "Brain in a Dish" to study how neurons work



    THIS is some really creepy stuff, actually. "Brain in a Jar" flying a simulated plane with no "teaching" it. You gotta read it to "Get" it... It's really, REALLY creepy.

      I'm not so sure that's a good idea. I don't need backtalk from my computer if I'm writing something and the "brain PC" disagrees with me. The last thing I need is a "relationship" with my PC like that.

        Yeah, the last thing I need is for Windows to be controlled by something that changes it's mind 15.2 billion times for each process.

                It already does that.

                That's kind of scarey. The last thing I want to face is a super brain. Science has come so far.

                          I wonder if my mouse brain CPU will be influenced by cheese?


                          I can see it now, the next generation of error messages will pertain mostly to cheese, bread crumbs, and little bits of food that fall off my computer desk,
