Robot scientists control live mouse
Robotic scientists in China have succeeded in 'controlling' live mice.

Experts at the robot research centre in Shandong Technology University controlled white mice by stimulating micro-electrodes on their heads.

The mice obeyed computer-generated commands to, in succession, "turn left", "turn right" and "move forward".

Project manager Su Xuecheng said animal robot research is the merger of electronic communication and biology, creating a new scientific discipline.

Scientists believe it will eventually lead to new ways of curing disabilities as electronic signals are used to replace damaged nerves.

do you have a link for this article? I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese gov't wants to implant these devices in the Chinese people to better control them.

Ha ha! That's a good one! I wonder if these scientist do research in the same place where Dr. Hwan Hoo-Suk does his cloning research: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4604464.stm

code buttons, I was serious. The Chinese gov't probably would use these devices to control its citizens.
