And no, it’s not a flash drive in the shape of a small brain. It’s a USB that stores its memory using a literally fish brain. The invention is described as having multiple electronic components connected to the brain of a dead fish.
Twitter user ni28_xp is a chemistry student. He said that the USB is completely handmade and it allows you to see the various electronic parts and wires connected to the small fish, which is put inside a transparent container.
