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 ...

Yale University School of Medicine researchers have found a way to exercise a little mind control over fruit flies, making the flies jump, beat their wings, and fly on command by triggering genetic ...

Scientists have figured out how to hack the brains of fruit flies in order to control them wirelessly. A team of neuroengineers led by Rice University were able to use magnetic signals to activate ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Remotely controlled fruit flies have been made to jump, beat their wings and fly on command. The genetically engineered flies, described in the current issue of the journal Cell, are the first ...
