Robo Rat - The Brain/Machine Interface

[happinesson]

exciting research! At least the rats here are not hurt and in pain. Go Cyborg!

[lwshore]

heds this leboretreh

[Jacory069]

Rat are related to humans.

[ross817]

I'm reluctant to get a chip in my head when they're first available, because what happens when a new version comes out? Do I have to get surgery all over again?

[xanadian9]

This cannot end well. Such a level of technology in the hands of greedy hairless monkeys? Yeah. I hope I'm dead before they can use this on people.

[scrubjay93]

Dr. John Lilly, of dolphin fame, pioneered this research in the late 1940s:

"Lilly next experimented on living brains, using novel techniques he himself developed, allowing him to stimulate monkey brains without major trauma and without damaging the brain tissue. This huge breakthrough made him one of the first scientists to locate the brain's pain and pleasure centres. Evidence of military interest in his pioneering work for less benign purposes, however, caused Lilly to change tack. "

Why use a human cyborg when you can use a hybrotic homunculus?

[sireofdarkness]

this is suck and can cause problems ! ... i mean it can reach the point where it will become like the matrix! !

[moorsalin3]

insane

[Travisdjtg]

thats kinda sick. 

[lyraclaceras]

yeah it will take like 20 years but it will be developed for humans just like ghost in the shell. The reason is of course the huge amount of money in this market, think alone of the military usage.

But...it will be cool and we will have it in our lifetime. Buja!

[boxa888]

@lyraclaceras they had this 40 yrs ago look it up! wow now people will get hacked and the hacker will control people off of edges and to do evil deeds for them . twisted lol

[stazzou]

9:10 "I think it's just a question of time, people will slowly become educated about the use of brain interfaces and they will stop worrying about the fact that they have some electrodes inside their brain".

Dumbass.

[zzzzzzzzzzaaaaapp]

OMG I'm freaked out now

[jasonj2008]

this is sick. this kind of research should not be allowed.

[moOswe]

For some reson this is a bit disturbing imo. This could be something very good but it will probably become something very bad.

[lionOFjudah33]

This could lead to the end of disease and even death.

[Wolfnoriil]

@lionOFjudah33 Because cancer is caused by neural disease, right?

[EmpiroOfTheHoleWorld]

hhhhhhhh remind me of mgs4

[notbored12]

This is a clip from a longer program?

[papaonn]

A New Science comes with bad effects depen on who's the one using that. It always turns out to be nightmare when BUSINESSMAN COME INTO PLAY. But think of the bright side, no people can deny the fact Nuclear is causing problem, but as well is a new advanced technology leading to the possibility of many investions. So does Neuroscience.

[iJul1609]

This has a very good chance of being the one most disgusting and morally reprehensible experience I have ever seen.

The poor animal is still alive and conscious when he's remotely controlled!

[MrPerseus2009]

Free will wont apply anymore.

[TriangularMusic]

Sure it will, just dont let them implant a chip in your brain.

[bigglikeinit]

fantastic the singularity gets closer every year. make me a god.

[CHARBONGER]

that is some crazy shit... i think someone should take these motherfuckers out before we get some kind of terminater shit goin on...

[caesar201148]

You still got a long way to go to get where science fiction could become reallity.

[medicueu]

nice .... but f*ck you !!!!

[CrossMediaOwnership]

medicueu, are you addressing me, the rat, or the scientist?

[mrmynx]

poor thing

[bpyjktgiuk]

Brain chip - CHECK MY SITE.

[molinariandco]

Play station 4

[babylittlekelvin]

next thing - reward to kill.

[OxSpRaYAnPrayxO]

this is the next robo cop

[qwertyg33ks]

with this type of technology, would we be able to back up our brains? so we can view our earliest memories?

[CrossMediaOwnership]

No, personally I don't think that will ever be possible. (but you should never say never)

A 'mind' seems to emerge from smaller functioning systems. Fractal life so to speak.

Building on what already works without replacing what works is the only way to build functioning complex systems.

Intelligence is liked to complexity but mind is also linked - and in essence IS a pre-existing collection of systems from which the concept of mind becomes possible (emerges).

Paradoxical really.

[CrossMediaOwnership]

Bodies and minds are not that different from each other.

They are both composed of swarms of sublevel things.

We know that our eyes are more brain than camera.

Much of our visual perception happens in the thin retina where light first strikes us, long before the central brain gets to consider the scene.

Systems that make decisions.

Replacing certain systems within the body or taking control of them could be refined but it's not the same goal (for want of another term) as 'liquid mind'.

[markthreemillion]

ooooooo robo rat !

[PinkProgram]

So close to being able to translate me into a physical state ^_^

[CrossMediaOwnership]

The champagne technique still works from 'Electric Dreams', but if you want to get physical, there's the 'Weird Science' theory.

Tell me how it works out for you.

Good Luck.
