You don't #program SpikerBot. You give it a #brain. Drag and drop #neurons, wire them together, and watch what it does. No #code. No #PhD. Just #neuroscience in your hands.
Back us on @Kickstarter: https://t.co/MACoUgtSQo

@kscottz Thank you, Kat! We worked really hard on this one 💙 Nothing better than seeing the DIY neuroscience community excited. SpikerBot wouldn't exist without supporters like you!

My colleagues in Ann Arbor who work in DIY neuroscience have a new product drop today.

It is small educational robot that you program by building your own simple neural nets by hand.

If you want to learn more about real neuroscience and robotics this is your best bet!

SpikerBot is LIVE on Kickstarter! 🧠🤖

Build a brain. Create a creature. Learn neuroscience by programming a robot with neurons.

Don't code your next robot. Build its brain instead. 🧠

The #SpikerBot uses a real-time Spiking Neural Network so you can drag, drop, and wire up neurons to control its behavior. Pure computational neuroscience in the palm of your hand! 🧬

🤩 “My goal wasn’t best functioning but low cost, for people who can’t pay more than 200-300 Euros to be able to do simple things like grabbing a cup of coffee or a paper, a ball and the like.”

You're looking at a functioning myoelectric robotic prosthetic hand custom-built for a person born without left-hand fingers! The engineer: student Jorge Iglesias Costas from Barcelona, who made it using our EMG sensor from Human Spikerbox. Blog post coming soon!

Kids can do amazing things as scientists, if we only give them a nudge! Throwback to our report on an incredibly brave teen scientist from Tucson AZ and her research of stress tolerance in first responders. Kudos to her mentors too!
