Phil Kennedy continuing the grand but dangerous tradition of self-experimentation: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-experimentation" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-experimentation</a> - From the Chemistry section <i>Until recently, it was common practice among synthetic chemists to taste newly prepared compounds. The purpose was to provide an additional characteristic for identification, taking advantage of the selective chemical receptors that form this sense. However, as one might guess, this practice also led to numerous fatalities and near-fatalities.</i><p>There are many examples in medicine section: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-experimentation_in_medicine" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-experimentation_in_medici...</a> which also resulted in fatalities.
I wonder how general purpose biological neural networks are.<p>If we had a perfect brain-computer-interface, could we grow 3D brain tissue in the lab, hook it up to a computer and do arbitrary processing on it?
