  • This is not the cartoon i used to watch as a kid...

  • I get how this is progressive and all, but poor cockroach!!! I'm glad you at least care to anesthetize it a bit. *sigh* I suppose someone has to do it. No pain no game.

  • that's so interesting. I mean for both video and people's reactions to it. It had been done for the sake of science, get over it.

  • I'd say this kind of research has potential in the field of medicine. Perhaps one day a similar approach could be taken to create prosthetics that can make it so you can feel what you touch with them. However, I can't help but feel sorry for that roach... Oh well, I guess it's the circle of life. Besides, bugs seem to find ways to cope with lost appendages quite quickly.

  • cruel, for no purpose.

  • lol he's doing surgery on a cockroach and he apologizes for the scar on his hand XD

  • So they are still alive and react to the applied neural interface. At first I thought it was dead and the eletronical device was to control its body giving eletric impulses as it was mechanical. I saw too many cyborg movies.

  • What does PETA has to say about this ? :D

  • OMG You're just crazy as shit, man!

  • im on the weird part of youtube again...

  • Poor bug... MAN, YOU SUCK!!!

  • @oasis666 Have you ever bought insecticide?

  • @fcthemaster we should all buy backyardbrainicid

  • You have to remove the leds. Otherwise it just a cockroach running from the light, which is pretty obvious.

    I so glad we don't have these nasty things in europe.

  • fry that sucker with a microwave oven beam.

  • I also reported your video. Its not allowed to show violence against animals here. Shame on you.

  • @SoniXtheOnly Thank God you are here to save us. I am sorry to see you were forced to watch this video and unable to simply go somewhere else. How can they show such things that happen all the time in universities and research labs? How dare these "idiots" try and advance technology that is so obviously never going to contribute in any useful manner to civilization.

  • @jimbojones888

    Because others do it it is now okay or what? Thats a really stupid statement.

    Also this vid here has nothing to do with research. The creator of the vid is just sick, unfortunately.

  • @SoniXtheOnly Yes, it is OK. How can you say it has nothing to do with research, when the video is by a professor who teaches this to his students? I believe your previous statement is the stupid one.

  • @jimbojones888

    Even if he is professor it has nothing to do with research.

    Do you also think Nazi doctors were human researchers as they gave LSD to innocente humans as long as they died?

    This is just animal cruelty. Why do you think they use roaches? Because 'everybody' hates them and nobody will cry. People like him think there is a difference between animals but there isnt. . Its life-despising.

  • @jimbojones888

    But maybe you let me implant electrodes in your brain? Then i could give you electroshocks and you will also turn around like i want it. It would be fun for me.

  • People who do such things to animals, should be shoot instantly. We dont need such people here on earth. We already have enough idiots. And we dont need such vids. Did you ever thought about decency and morality? You ever thought about pain? I wish I could implant you such things in your brain.

  • It's fun to watch and learn but I just can't do that to a cockroach.

  • wow..its really work...so impressive

  • OH no how could this happen!?! D= oh the irony of my name has been realized!

  • @TheAluminiumklorid. It's a 2032 watch battery underneath the circuit. Newer RoboRoach versions use a 1220 battery that's lighter and goes on top of the circuit.

  • so what's the purpose of this experiment?

  • @sethiroph08

    It's to teach about neural interfaces, microelectronics, and learning/adaptation. We've begun distributing them; most users are high school or college teachers who teach neural engineering.

  • @backyardbrains oh I see

  • I used it to control my own arm and gues what! It totaly worked after a few minor ajustments i had a remote controled arm!!!

  • next up: remote control for wives/husbands?

  • Many thanks for this tutorial. I will begin to build their own insect cyborg :)

    Greetings from Polish
