Brain Cortex Joins FM Radio Station

BRAIN CORTEX JOINS FM RADIO STATION
What do you get when crossing a machine brain cortex with an FM radio transmitter?

The project underway will adjust the brain cortex in a jar to speak English and then transmit the amplified audio speech via the radio station transmitter. As we know, the cortex is always talking so broadcasting its speech ideas is an interesting and useful idea, for not only monitoring its condition and health, but also to broadcast the state of its learning, retention and characteristics.

A serial brain cortex output of speech will be tailored to fit the speech center on the Parallax Propeller chip. This audio feed will interface to the FM Transmitter. The transmitter will be located inside the jar and switched on when transmitted speech is desired.
