well dipped indeed but you said PAIN
[link|http://brain.web-us.com/brain/bio_org.html|http://brain.web-us....rain/bio_org.html] the organism feels pain, the brain does not.
Now if they teach it to fly as you suggested by running currents in different paterns but that is PROGRAMMING not AI as the cells did not LEARN to fly the programmers gave instructions no different than a C++ on an Intel program.

They DID learn to do it, though.
And... Define 'pain'. Isn't it just a trickle of current going to the brain that signifies a 'negative' event?

not current, chemicals
That was my argument to begin with, how could it learn without negative input. If the input was artificially applied you are just programming a biologic computer.

That makes it's own connections
And yes, nerve cells produce current chemically. Sensory impulses are still electrical. The rat-brain computer essentially learned to fly over time. "When we first hooked them up, the plane 'crashed' all the time," Dr Thomas DeMarse, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Florida, said. "But over time, the neural network slowly adapts as the brain learns to control the pitch and roll of the aircraft. After a while, it produces a nice straight and level trajectory."

now I read it again it still doesnt make sense
how would the plane crashing be any different from a pitch, a yaw or a level flight to a petrie dish full of cells? So why would it "learn" to fly?

Negative result is 'crashing'
Positive, level flight.
Think learning to walk (on a simpler scale) walking is a positive result, negative is falling.
Or -
Crashing 'hurts'.

nope, if they learned by themselves
crashing would be the same as flying level why would they care or recognise the difference?

Why do kids care
if they walk or crawl?
The brain doesn't feel 'pain' after all. It just accepts input and provides output.
Just like the complex of nerve cells they put together for this experiment...

Get a gun if going to Kennesaw.
Having one is [link|http://www.packing.org/news/article.jsp/2319|required]. Go visit [link|http://ngeorgia.com/people/thegeneral.html|The General] while you're there, if you've got the time.
Best of luck with the search!
Cheers,
Scott.

I just heard about that...
Looks like Kennesaw uses [link|http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Militia|definition number 3]. A bit excessive, perhaps... *grin*

*sigh* Timing.
Going up to MA this weekend to visit the kids...
Drop Ross a line though! I'm sure he'd be glad to hang out...
