Robot Controlled by Living Brain Cells http://rgn.bz/p7Ka

Researchers at NTNU are developing a robot that will be controlled by living brain cells. A cyborg (cybernetic organism) is a combination of machine and living tissue.
Cyborgs have been part of our fantasy world since the start of the science fiction genre. The interface between living organisms and machines has been used to frighten and entertain, as well as to explore the boundary between man and technology.

A cyborg is about to become reality at NTNU. Scientists and students are working on constructing an interactive social robot that will connect to a biological “brain.”
The cyborg may become a familiar figure on campus down the road – while also helping researchers understand how to repair brain damage and construct new types of computers.

It probably won’t be taking over the world anytime soon. But it will become a cyborg. ‘

Originally shared by Corina Marinescu The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily sensory) 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. This model was proposed by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the heyday of the psychometric and behaviorist eras, it was generally believed that intelligence was a single entity that was inherited; and that human beings – initially a blank slate – could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an appropriate way. Nowadays an increasing number of researchers believe precisely the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent of each other; that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints; that the mind is far from unencumbered at birth; and that it is unexpectedly difficult to teach things that go against early ‘naiv...
