LOL;) ' Biomedical engineers at the University of Florida claim a tiny "brain" created in a petri dish has been able to fly a virtual airplane (a F-22 fighter jet)) The scientists built the brain from neurons extracted from rat embryos and seeded onto a grid of gold electrodes in a petri dish. The cells then grew their own neural connections to create what they call a "live computation device."
