Scientists have created a tiny device that helps control the movement of live cockroaches with the remote control. The staff of the Texas Institute for Nuclear Security spent a lot of time to develop such a gadget. It is reported Informing.
To the back of the insect attaches special “backpack”, which is connected to the node cockroach prothoracic nerve by means of electrodes. Thus, scientists from the United States controls the direction and speed of movement, sending special electronic impulses.
First, experts have tried to stimulate cockroach antennae by means of electrodes, but this led to a proper result. From insects such stimulation occurred only feeling that their way is blocked, and a direct impact on the ganglia possible to achieve the desired effect.
