Hello.
I read in the paper today about a robot controlled by brain cells.
"A multidisciplinary team at the University of Reading has developed a robot which is controlled by a biological brain formed from cultured neurons."
Looks like humans are soon to be outdated. I for one hail our new robo-rat cyborgs as gods and masters, and renounce all humans as egotistical meat-bags.
Huzah!
One final postscript: The scientists used rat neurons on this one. Perhaps to prevent our imminent collapse, in the future they could use puppy neurons?

They tried to use human neurons, but they couldn't find any cultured ones in Reading.
I guess that joke is a bit Pommie.
True. Yoghurt is the only culture found in Reading.
(Pow! Take that someone else!)
Finally, the robots can take over and I can look forward to life as human breeding stock.

Perhaps "delay", rather than "prevent"? :D
It's interesting that the researchers are reporting (or assigning) personality differences for the different "brains".
