I saw some research into that back in ~2004 (?), where researchers put rat neurons in a petri dish that had an electrode array inside. Had great success, the neurons were able to drive a little rc car around and fly a jet simulator. I've seen nothing about it since then. I like to imagine the scientists are working on Terminators for DARPA. Edit: guess I should've read the link in the other reply. :)
