Technology Review - Rat-Brained Robot
Topic: Technology 5:43 pm EST, Dec 18, 2002

] "In his experiment, Potter places a droplet of solution
] containing thousands of rat neuron cells onto a silicon
] chip that's embedded with 60 electrodes connected to an
] amplifier. The electrical signals that the cells fire at
] one another are picked up by the electrodes which then
] send the amplified signal into a computer. The computer,
] in turn, wirelessly relays the data to the robot.

Yes, you read that correctly.

This is good. Bio/computer integration is progressing at an acceptable rate. If things go according to my great plan, when my body is too frail to continue living, I will be able to implant my brain into a giant robot body with photon blasters and shit. Kind of like RoboCop, only not lame. I'm not thining human profile here. Being able to fly would be good, but not with some dorky jetpack like at the end of RoboCop 3, that was st00pid. Maybe like a transformer or something. Yeah.. And don't worry, none of that shit that happened at the beginning of RoboCop 2 would be an issue.. I will be _happy_ as a giant robot. I will roam the streets of America fighting corrupt corporations. And help old ladies cross the street and shit. Really.. I can code, so I will be able to preform improvments on myself. I can see this working out..
