The Neurally Controlled Animat: Biological Brains Acting with Simulated Bodies - PMC

The brain is perhaps the most advanced and robust computation system known. We are creating a method to study how information is processed and encoded in living cultured neuronal networks by interfacing them to a computer-generated animal, the Neurally-Controlled ...
