CNN.com - 'Brain' in a dish flies flight simulator

This is just crazy. I have more faith in the human race - we can get mouse brains to fly planes! Such crazyness. Wow. Whats really cool is just the sheer power for it to learn, we took some brain cells and stuck it on a plate with some electrodes, and it just organized itself, hooked up and went! I have more faith in my rats (Brouhaha, Gala, and Spree).
(Crazy, I say!)

I can't *believe* that would work! How they do that? Do all neurons reconnect like that..? It's crazy!!
And now that you and CNN and that mouse-neuron-electroding scientist guy have completely blown my mind, I'm going to try mending some pants.
