Scientists can control turtles using just their minds

In the 2009 blockbuster'Avatar,' a human remotely controls the body of an alien, by injecting human intelligence into a biological body. While this still remains in the realm of science fiction, researchers have managed to create a similar system that allows humans to remotely control turtles. The incredible system, which is operated via a device on the turtle's shell, can'read' and use human thought to control the animal's movement. A'cyborg system' which consists of a camera, a Wi-Fi transceiver, a computer control module and a battery is mounted on the turtle's shell. Also included on the turtle's shell is a black semi-cylinder with a slit, which forms the'stimulation device'.
