Neuroengineers hack fruit fly brain and remotely control its movements
Posted by Raphael Ramos in categories: bioengineering, cybercrime/malcode, genetics, nanotechnology, neuroscience
A research team led by Rice University neuroengineers has created wireless technology to remotely activate specific brain circuits in fruit flies in under one second.
The team – an assemblage of experts in genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and electrical engineering – used magnetic signals to activate targeted neurons that controlled the body position of freely moving fruit flies in an enclosure.
