Mixed-Reality Cell
bidirectinal coupling between real and virtual bio-oscillator
We are working on the building of a new kind of life form, mixed-reality state cells. We would build a genetic oscillator in E. coli (the Real part) and build another e-oscillator in computer (the Virtual part); these two oscillators would interact with each other. At the first stage, these two oscillators are independent from each other; after a period of time, when these two oscillators are adjusting to each other (without human interference), they will be strongly coupled and synchronized, and finally reach a mixed-reality state; at this stage, the real cell state is fully reflected in the computer and meanwhile we may control the cell states by a computer. Overall, the mixed-reality state cells have enormous potential value to future biological research.
