ScienceDaily reports that a team at the University of Reading has created a robot that is controlled by an actual biological "brain."
As researchers figure out how to get the robot to learn, they hope to be able to watch the actual process of how memories manifest themselves when the robot travels over known territory.
Knowing more about how memory forms will help researchers understand how memory is damaged in a traumatic brain injury (http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/blog/2008/08/your-weekly-tech-report-10/) and eventually, how to repair it!
