“Take the cockroach and immerse it in ice water. This water serves as an anesthetic. After a few minutes in the water, the animal will no longer feel anything. Then sand the head of the cockroach so that the electrode can be stuck to it with superglue. Then spread the wings of the insect and stick them to the board with silly putty. Then poke a small hole in the thorax of the cockroach and put the wire of the electrode in the hole. Push the wire about three millimeters deep into the thorax.
Then lay it on its back. Cut its antennae halfway off. They are hollow inside. Insert one of the electrode wires four millimeters deep into the antenna and glue it in place uae mobile phone number list Anaesthetize the animal again and repeat the procedure for the second antenna. (Be careful not to get the superglue on your fingers!) Your cockroach is now ready to use. Run some current through the electrode and see if it reacts. Is everything working? Then you can connect it to the starter kit and use your app to control it. Left. Right. Left. A child could do the laundry!”

In the meantime, several organizations, including PETA, have expressed their horror at these cyborg cockroaches. Do the creatures feel no pain and is it ethically justifiable? Gage and Marzullo have a simple answer to these questions about the possible pain. The fact that the cockroach will have to do without its antennae in the future is not so bad at all: after about a hundred days, they will grow back by themselves.
And is it ethical? The gentlemen founded the company to make neurology available to everyone. “The overarching goal of our company is to bring upon the 'neuro-revolution,' which is where people can contribute to science almost like they do in mathematics and astronomy.” To learn from it. To create training courses so that we have more neurologists and neuroscientists in the future. Because, the gentlemen say, we really need them. A large part of the diseases that people suffer from are related to the brain – and we simply don't know enough about that.

In any case, I have already ordered a package of cockroaches. Hopefully they will survive the long journey and will not be stopped by customs at the border. Although they are stubborn creatures, so they will probably survive this too.
