| The California Institute of Technology has been | | | | test rat brain cells. However one must consider |
| working with a brain implant called autonomous | | | | other brains. For flying jet aircraft you certainly |
| micro-drive that moves electrons around in the | | | | would not wish to use rat cells if the aircraft or |
| brain as it searches for strong neural signals. The | | | | compartment with the rat brain cells were |
| scientists successfully implanted a brain prosthesis | | | | pressurized at 10,000 ft like an airliner. The rats |
| in a dish of rat brain slices and a similar array of | | | | normally do not live that high? So then would you |
| rat brain cells was able to fly a virtual F-22 fighter | | | | want a brain cells of llama, which can live up at |
| jet. This is interesting because learning to fly a | | | | Machu Picchu altitudes? Or would you wish to use |
| F-22 takes years of training and costs The US | | | | the brain cells of an Eagle, Condor or Swift? After |
| Military millions. So if a half a rat brain can do this? | | | | all these brain cells will be flying a plane right? |
| Well then so much for the Tom Cruise Glory of | | | | They will be use to the gyrations of motion and |
| the Fighter Pilot? We all know that the fighter pilot | | | | speed, changing barometric pressure rapidly after |
| of the future is quickly becoming obsolete with | | | | all evolution has made them this way right? In the |
| the innovations in UAV Technology.As Computer | | | | case of a hand launched UAV, perfect indeed, |
| Human Interface for Controlling Aircraft becomes | | | | that is basically what a bird does all day anyway. |
| more prevalent we are seeing issues with | | | | Flies in concentric circles and looks for food, then |
| response times, runway incursions and target | | | | swoops it. So those brains are perfectly made for |
| affixation issues due to visual perception overload. | | | | this right? Some might say for this effort why |
| If it were only a video game it would not be so | | | | not just hire the damn bird and pay it in food like |
| critical, but crashing 30 to 80 million-dollar piece of | | | | the Indians and their falcons? Makes sense, find |
| hardware because you lost your concentration is | | | | insurgents tell us were they are by circling twice |
| not in the tax payers best interest. Crashing when | | | | and do a couple of loop to loops and get some |
| your mind is stuck on another thought is too | | | | juicy tri-tip raw steak? Now that is one happy |
| costly to contemplate. must also consider issues | | | | birdbrain? And you get the rest of the organism |
| with which brain to use? Today we are using in | | | | for free? |
