neverever writes "I just saw a reference to a talk given today (Thursday) at MIT by Steve Potter from MIT who is doing work on growing neurons in a petri dish with electrodes so that the neural network can be hooked up to a virtual body running inside a simulation. They are also going to be using some fancy imaging techniques to watch the network in operation. Check out this for a story about it or this for their research site. "
