A fruit fly's pinhead-sized brain is not the place you'd expect find inspiration for new robotics. But in a bold move, researchers have built a speedy robot with a 'brain' based on the insect's ...

This humanoid robot has a mind of its own. Researchers at Tianjin University in China have created a robot that is controlled by human brain cells in a first-of-its-kind breakthrough in ...

The robot’s biological brain is made up of cultured neurons which are placed onto a multi electrode array (MEA). The MEA is a dish with approximately 60 electrodes which pick up the electrical ...

Beyond teaching a small humanoid robot to avoid obstacles or grip objects, scientists hope that organoids could eventually be used to repair the human brain through transplantation.

So, maybe the fancy fMRI decoding system wasn't reading their mind, it was just acting as an elaborate means of tracking eye movements - which would be much less interesting. If you want to control a ...
