Cyborg rats think with digital cerebellum

Cyborg rats think with digital cerebellum

Each day we hear more and more news about how robots are able to help us as well as make the quality of our lives a whole lot better – and the latest piece of news to hit the headlines is this: rats are now on the receiving end of cybernetic enhancements, thanks to the implementation of an artificial cerebellum which successfully restored lost brain function in rats. I suppose with many millions of dollars more of research as well as time, cyborg-style brain implants might be a reality one day. Imagine using such implants to replace areas of brain tissue that were damaged by stroke as well as other debilitating diseases.
