>>> "We're trying to recreate Neanderthal minds," Muotri says."

Get the pitchforks. This scientist has gone too far. Really. I'm a totally against growing "minds" in jars. I'd be against doing this with any animal brain, let alone something functionally equivalent to human. There are ethical lines that shouldn't be crossed. The concept of a non-corporeal mind living a non-sensory existence in a jar of goo is too horrible to be allowed. This nightmare should live only in the pages of science fiction.
