Scientists upload a worm's mind into a Lego robot
The brainwaves of a parasitic roundworm are now driving a Lego robot.
When you consider it, the mind is just a gathering of electrical signs. On the off chance that we can figure out how to inventory those then, in principle, you can transfer somebody's psyche onto a machine, permitting them to live perpetually as an advanced manifestation of awareness, much the same as in the Johnny Depp film Transcendence.
Anyhow its not simply sci-fi. Granted, researchers aren't anyplace close near to attaining to such deed with people (and regardless of the fact that they could, the morals would be really full), yet now an universal group of specialists have figured out how to do only that with the roundworm Encephalitis style.
C. tastefulness is a little nematodes that have been widely considered by researchers - we know the majority of their qualities and their sensory system has been examined commonly.
"It is claimed that the robot behaved in ways that are similar to observed C. elegance. Stimulation of the nose stopped forward motion. Touching the anterior and posterior touch sensors made the robot move forward and back accordingly. Stimulating the food sensor made the robot move forward."
"We know we have the correct number of neurons, we have them connected together in roughly the same way that the animal has, and they're organized in the same way in that there are some neurons that give out information and other neurons that receive information."
"We feel we've gone a long way down the road, but we still know that there's a lot that's been left out and there are a lot of assumptions -- at the moment it represents one point in a line of iterative improvements.
"I'd say we're only 20 to 30% of the way towards where we need to get."
"Something with wheels that is rigid is an interesting application but it still falls short of reproducing the anatomy of the worm," Larson said.
But major question comes, is artificial intelligence comes through fiction, if yes then our future is really in danger or ultimate safe.
Scientist are trying our desired fiction into real but this time goal is to transfer living into computer simulation.
