Microelectrodes, planted in the bird’s brains, are used by the Chinese scientists to control the flight of the pigeons. The scientists were able to force the birds to fly left and right or up and down by mimicking the natural signals in the pigeon’s brains while the electrode signals were controlled through a computer.

Xinhua quoted the centre's chief scientist, Su Xuecheng as saying that the experiment was successful, "It's the first such successful experiment on a pigeon in the world," he added. The report said that Su and his colleagues had registered similar success with experiments conducted in 2005. They are currently engaged in refining their technology and hope to put the same to some use in future, the report concluded. (earthtimes.org)
