Oh, whoa, okay, very Frankenstein here. That's very cool though because our brains do the same thing, I guess, so don't they?
Chuck Nice, a co-host of the StarTalk Radio podcast, makes a reference to the book 'Frankenstein', drawing a parallel between the way the neurons under discussion are being used to 'reorganize' and the story of the creation of the Frankenstein monster by piecing together different parts of a human.
It's a separation before we get to the abilities of these things that you are creating in your Frankenstein lab.
Chuck likens the lab where Brett Kagan conducts his experiments to a 'Frankenstein lab,' making an explicit comparison to the fictional lab and experiments described in the book 'Frankenstein'. This comment follows his earlier use of the term while discussing neuron reorganization.
