a pity that they don't show the rat brain also ... anything published available would also be nice ...

Scary... I liked the "Each time the robot has behaved differently" part though :)

good luck!!

Reading Hidden Intentions in the Human Brain

So far only in german: A guy has on 10% of the usual brain mass. But lives without big problems. The study should be published in LANCET.

interestingly it looks like a subject could wear it all day while doing normal stuff http://www.choosemuse.com/ "I got my hands on an early version of Interaxon's brainwave reading headband, the Muse, and I think this could be the most important wearable of the year. And that's saying a lot, considering I've seen 2014′s entire lineup for health tech at the Consumer Electronic Show as well as a few undisclosed athletic devices slated for later this year."

..."alerts the users with sights and sounds when they are producing brain waves associated with calm and focus." ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! YOU ARE CALM AND FOCUSSED! :-D

indeed the app that comes with it sounds really lame but it comes with an sdk

An overview of all the neurotech companies messing with the brain. When reading this I really wonder why we need ethical approval for everything in human research.

Scientists are preparing to create "miniature brains" that have been genetically engineered to contain Neanderthal DNA, in an unprecedented attempt to understand how humans differ from our closest relatives.

...how about you?

The human brain both stores and processes information at the same time. Now computer scientists say they can do the same thing The human brain is an extraordinary computing machine. Nobody understands exactly how it works its magic but part of the trick is the ability to store and process information at the same time.

The map will be free but apparently not reading this article :-(

"IBM delivered on the DARPA SyNAPSE project with a one million neuron brain-inspired processor. The chip consumes merely 70 milliwatts, and is capable of 46 billion synaptic operations per second, per watt-literally a synaptic supercomputer in your palm." --- No memristors..., yet.: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/537211/a-better-way-to-build-brain-inspired-chips/

Memristor-Based Artificial Neural Networks, huge potential for true, high-power AI

Memristors (for memory purposes - RRAM type) on the pipeline to be launched in orbit on a cubesat http://thewhitonline.com/2016/03/news/nasa-initiative-chooses-rowan-to-launch-satellite/

A nice quartz article about research in neuromorphic hardware in micro/nanotech out there and future vision of the field.
