Mind Controlled Microbes (paramecium)
Channel: mindgamefilms
Date: 2013-05-17

Paramecia will change their swimming direction in response to an electrical field. With an Ardunio, a hacked brain sensor and a litte code you can control your own army of single celled minions with mind power alone.

Full build instructions and source code are on my website at http://making.do/paramecium

This started as a demonstration project I developed for a class I taught at Genspace (http://www.genspace.org), the awesome biohacker space in Brooklyn.
