	In the August 1992 issue of Discover magazine, there is an article
(pg 54-60) entitled "If he only had a brain" (yes, how cute!)

	It is about Masuo Aizawa of the Tokyo Institute of Technology who is 
growing nerve cell derivatives on microchips aswell, he is experimenting
with them as signal processors.... This is a good article, and worth the
read,
even worth maybe tricking someone into typing it in and uploading it
(hint!)
