oooo that's rather nifty....sounds like loads of fun though i guess it also has a LOT of ethical implications.... _________________ The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, isn't 'Eureka!' but rather 'hmm....that's funny.'

ya I was thinking that yesterday as I was reading it. They purposely keep the word 'brain' out of it a lot. Calling it a Neural Net and a bunch of other stuff...
It would be a much different article if it used the word Rat's consciousness (not saying it is the 'rat' that's doing the navigation, however it is arguable I think) instead. Actually it'd be freaky ![Razz](images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) _________________ "My Heart Is In the Work" - Andrew Carnegie |
