Scientists have put a roach in the driver's seat of an electric powered vehicle and sent it around their laboratory in this Weird Connections production. This bizarre experiment is no joke. It could be the first step in creating a new, seamless interface between brains and machines.

This stunning high-definition movie will serve as the springboard for a lively discussion about the science behind the beauty and wonder of nature.

Aidyl Gonzalez-Serricchio, a researcher in biology, will introduce the film and guide the post-screening discussion.

 

Recommended for ages 8 and up.
