Robot with living brain created in US
James Meek, science correspondent Wednesday April 18, 2001 The Guardian
Researchers in Chicago have built a cyborg, a half-living, half-robot creature which connects the brain of an eel-like fish to a computer and is capable of moving towards lights. The device, developed at a research centre owned by Evanston's Northwestern University, consists of the brain stem from the larva of a lamprey, a bloodsucking fish, attached by electrodes to an off-the-shelf Swiss robot.
