Researchers at Rice University have shown how they can hack the brains of fruit flies to make them remote controlled. The flies performed a specific action within a second of a command being sent to ...

Are we one step closer to remote controlling human brains? According to a peer-reviewed study published in the journal Nature Materials, we just might. A team of researchers at Rice University have ...

A study on the flies titled "Subsecond multichannel magnetic control of select neural circuits in freely moving flies" has been published in the journal Nature Materials. Researchers from Rice ...

Reliable Robotics has been working on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) since its founding in 2017, with a number of demonstrations for the FAA so far as it works towards getting the technology licensed ...

While Fly Mind-Altering Device (FlyMAD) may sound like a controlled substance, it’s actually a technique that uses heat to induce the neurons responsible for a specific fly behavior, and in this case, ...

Yale has taken to turning their fruit flies into personal (and completely ineffectual) insect slaves, controlling their movements by stimulating their brains with laser pulses. If controlling fruit ...
