MIND CONTROL!!!!

Latest Buzz: Fly Brains Manipulated by Remote Control - Like a hypnotist who gets a man to act like a chicken when he hears a code word, scientists have genetically modified fruit flies to jump or beat their wings when flashed with lasers. "This is a new approach to neuroscience," said Gero Miesenbock from the Yale University School of Medicine. "We can not only passively observe but actively control behavior."

scientists control fly with robot head - Yale University researchers say their study that used lasers to create remote-controlled fruit flies could lead to a better understanding of overeating and violence in humans. Using the lasers to stimulate specific brain cells, researchers say they were able to make the flies jump, walk, flap their wings and fly.

Remote-Control Flies - Imagine using a remote control to command a living thing. Researchers have done just that, controlling fruit flies with a laser. As this ScienCentral News video explains, the research could lead to ways to control behaviors.
