How cool is a brain stored in a petri dish that can fly a fighter jet. Now there is one.

Someone in the university of Florida has done this experiment in an attempt to better understand how neural networks operate. Personally I think he is secretly doing military research on miniature autonomous drone planes the size of insects that need a better control mechanism. Watch-out for these rat brains in a petri dish everywhere. They will become helpful in the future for doing household tasks like controlling Roomba robots.
