It is a toy from the 90's, My brother and i owned two of them. You buy cards for them,and swipe them in the back of there heads for power upgrades. Using a the controller they battle it out. They where great TOYS back then, but cheese compared to your description
@brokenbones you are just confusing shape with content ! please read the comment to Fatman below. The toy is just the external shell, we could also leave it, of course.
this is bullshit i have one of those toys in my basement its not a robot its an rc toy from the 1990's and lets be realistic you spent thousands of dollars to extract a human brain and go through all that hard work and all the time waisted on this project to put the brain in a toy? yeah........real smart.
Then he stopped moving. All lights were blinking rapidly but he didn't move. So, the scientists pulled the battery and put him on the cupboard. 75 years later, another scientist came and she discovered that the brain cells were alive & active throughout the years. After a fresh battery was installed, the lights blinked madly again. Then she noticed something terrible. As an expert in communication she realized that the blinking of the lights aren't random.
This thing looks like a toy they had back in the 90's. You could make them punch eachother. If they hit the right spot they would shut down for a few seconds. I really wish I could remember what they were called.
@Fatman221 Yes it is !!!!! We used this old toy for the mobile part (that is just an electric engine). Please read the paper if you wish to understand how the whole thing works.
you would be surprised by what happens with multiple MEAs....
please find my paper R. Pizzi , D. Rossetti , G. Cino , W. Baer and A. V escovi, ANOMALOUS FINDINGS IN CULTURED NEURONS IN PRESENCE OF LASER PULSES in my website or google it.
@RitaPizzi if cell death is an issue you could always place nutrient channels in the culture dish to promote growth. There has also been several advances in tissue scaffolding recently. Oxygen deprivation can be rectified with the addition of an oxygenated fluorocarbon solution as well. Otherwise the research looks promising. Also remember siphonophores do something similar in nature with a communal neural network instead of a centralized brain ^_^
@PinkProgram thank you for your advices. The survival time has been already greatly increased, both by methods like those you suggest, and improving the MEAs, e.g. using a layer of TiO2 and many other tricks. In the future there is no doubt that cells can survive ad libitum.

Holy mackerel! That's so damn cool! Hooray for stem cell research! This has some fascinating implications.
I notice you say 'He'. The cells are male?
