There is a question that science has been trying to answer for decades: Will it one day be possible to completely copy a biological brain and run it inside a computer? like the futuristic The Matrix movie, for a long time that seemed impossible, but now a curious experiment may have taken a small step in that direction.
In the video released by the researchers, the digital fly can be seen moving its legs, rubbing its limbs and even drinking water within a small simulated environment. According to the scientists, these behaviors were not programmed manually, they arise directly from the neural activity of the immolated brain, that is, the brain receives sensory stimuli from the virtual environment, processes information and sends motor commands to the simulated body, thus closing the so-called sensory-motor cycle.
