What they have managed to do is plant electrodes in to a pigeons brain allowing them to remotely control how the pigeon flies.
"Xinhua News Agency said the scientists at the Robot Engineering Technology Research Center at Shandong University of Science and Technology in eastern China used the micro electrodes to command the bird to fly right or left, and up or down."
"It was the first such successful experiment on a pigeon in the world, said Su, who conducted a similar successful experiment on mice in 2005. (AP)"
WHY? What is the point of this bizarre experiment and how can mankind benefit from such experiments???

I could of told you that and I aint no boffin!
Even I know that the brain is a complex and weird organ that no-one really understands as it is too complex for us to ever fully understand.
I will even go as far as to say that the brain is infinitely more complicated than we ourselves can ever comprehend.
