Pretty weird not to comment that they're replicating published work that trained mouse neurons on an electrode array to fly a plane in a flight simulator.

It's about at the level where you could make a good attempt to replicate it as a hobby in your (albeit well stocked) garage.

Doesn’t hurt to join forces with another ‘well stocked garage‘ featured earlier on HN: https://youtu.be/V2YDApNRK3g

Oops, second vid should be from Ben Krasnow’s (bkraz) Applied Science channel: https://youtu.be/YAPt_DcWAvw

Ben explains somewhere in there that this was done to help create a better substrate for the first experiment.

Once your garage is that 'well stocked' you might as well call a lab! I think you might be drastically underestimating the difficulties inherent in both cell culture and programming in getting this sort of thing to work.

Very cool, I added this to my 'biohacker' list of links.

And lol @ your Egg Benedict Donburi from Food Wars. I still haven't started season 2... check out Dotchi No Ryouri, it used to run on PBS but can be found on youtube.

Can you post that list please?

That video was fascinating…

why did you link to the science daily and not any actual article? The linked page doesn't even link to an article, it links to a university press release. From 2004 no less. How am I supposed to verify that they are replicating published work as you say?

Having a bad day? Just do a little legwork, there are enough context clues to find the story from the linked article.
