In order to have this work, the electronics would either need to be able to detect the chemical signals given off by the ends each one of the axons of these nerve cells, or be able to detect the faint electrical potential, once again, for each individual neuron, all at the same time.

that doesnt even go into the fact that these cells would need to be constantly fed glucose and a variety of vitamins and minerals, the neurons would need a large complement of glial cells to maintain them and produce neurotransmitters, and all of this would have to take place in a sealed buffer container.

If they managed to do this, good on them, but untill they give some details I'm skeptical.
